PPC blue will significantly expand the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Romania and Greece, utilizing European Union funds.

The company will receive up to €2.76 million in funding from the EU, as part of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)'s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF) programme.

The "East Europe Electric Route" project aims to deploy 60 fast and superfast charging points. This includes 28 DC fast-charging points, each with a minimum capacity of 150 kW, designed to serve light-duty vehicles, and 32 ultra-fast DC charging points, each with a minimum capacity of 350 kW, to accommodate heavy-duty vehicles.

These charging points will be strategically installed in 29 different locations along key axes of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) corridors in both countries, facilitating seamless EV travel and transport in the region.

Out of these 60 charging points, PPC blue will install 12 DC fast charging points of minimum capacity of 150 kW and 32 ultra-fast DC charging points of a minimum capacity of 350 kW in Romania through this project. The remaining charging points will be installed in Greece.

Andreea-Dana Popescu, Director of PPC blue Romania, said: "PPC blue Romania's plans picked up speed in 2024 when we changed all systems, grew the team to better meet customer needs and expanded our network in 61 new locations, now ensuring availability in all counties of Romania. Now, we are joining forces with our colleagues from Greece to run together a joint, EU-funded project."

PPC blue Romania operates charging points with a total installed power of over 14,000 kW and offers integrated electric mobility solutions. In 2024, drivers who charged their electric cars at PPC blue stations traveled a total of 10.5 million km.
