The agreement covers the launch of 170 charging points at over 70 commercial facilities owned by Carrefour, located in 65 Polish cities. This partnership aims to facilitate Poles’ access to the network of electric vehicle charging stations, as well as to promote ecological methods of transport.
The agreement signed establishes a joint initiative between Carrefour and Eleport aimed at developing a network of electric vehicle charging stations throughout Poland. Thanks to this cooperation, Carrefour will be able to offer even greater comfort to its customers, enabling easier and more accessible charging for electric car owners with energy from 100% renewable energy sources.
– The main goal of Carrefour’s global strategy, expressed in the “Carrefour 2026” strategic plan, is to accelerate the company’s transformation through a commitment to be as accessible to customers as possible, build the company of the future and consolidate our sustainable development model. All these elements can be found in our partnership with Eleport, which will additionally help us achieve even more ambitious goals in terms of reducing CO2 emissions – says Agata Kopytyńska, member of the Executive Committee and Director of Real Estate, Expansion and Assets of Carrefour Polska. We believe that the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure at our facilities will help us be closer to our customers, encouraging them to constantly use ecological solutions. At the same time, this partnership is part of our efforts to achieve the goal of sustainable transport, which is extremely important in response to current economic and environmental challenges. – adds Agata Kopytyńska.
From Eleport’s point of view, the opportunity to cooperate with such a renowned partner as Carrefour is a great potential for further development of the electric vehicle market.
– Cooperation with Carrefour Polska is another milestone for us, strengthening our presence on the Polish market. Thanks to this partnership, we will be able to offer network customers in several dozen Polish cities the ability to quickly charge their cars during everyday shopping. We are particularly pleased that we have found a partner with whom we share the desire to actively build environmentally friendly solutions in the field of transport – says Paweł Doleciński, Sales Director at Elelport.
The agreement between Carrefour and Eleport is a step towards promoting sustainable development and supporting ecological initiatives in the retail sector. The planned infrastructure expansion will cover strategically located locations throughout Poland, which will not only increase the convenience of using electric cars, but also encourage more people to consider eco-friendly transport options.
Currently, there are works going on related to the administrative process and preparation of each location for installation of devices. The goal of both partners is to launch the devices in all locations as soon as possible, which will happen next year, but the first of them will be available this year.
Both companies will keep informed about the details of the project and further stages of cooperation.
