This partnership is integral to our efforts towards sustainable transport, addressing current economic and environmental challenges.”

From Eleport’s perspective, this collaboration with Carrefour represents a significant milestone in advancing the EV market in Poland.

Paweł Doleciński, Sales Director at Eleport, expressed his enthusiasm, “Collaborating with Carrefour Polska marks another major step in strengthening our presence in the Polish market. This partnership will allow us to offer Carrefour customers in numerous cities the convenience of quick EV charging during their everyday shopping trips. We are particularly thrilled to partner with a company that shares our commitment to developing environmentally friendly transportation solutions.”

The agreement between Carrefour and Eleport promotes sustainable development and supports ecological initiatives in the retail sector. The planned infrastructure expansion will cover strategically located areas throughout Poland.

Preparations are currently underway, including administrative processes and the installation of charging devices at each location. Both partners aim to launch the devices as soon as possible, with the first stations becoming operational later this year and full deployment expected by next year.
