PPC Blue launches 1.2 MW EV charging hub in Patras, Greece
A new chapter in Greece’s emobility has begun. PPC blue has launched the country’s most powerful EV charging hub in Patras. Located at the Top Parks Commercial Park, where IKEA is also based, the new hub brings a major upgrade to public charging infrastructure.
The hub has a total power capacity of 1.2 megawatts. It can charge up to 29 vehicles at once. This makes it the strongest charging hub currently operating in Greece.
It features a range of charging options. There are 21 AC chargers with a power of up to 22 kW. In addition, there are 6 fast chargers of up to 180 kW. Most impressively, the hub includes 2 ultra-fast chargers of 360 kW each. These are the fastest chargers in the country. They can fully charge a compatible EV in as little as 15 minutes, depending on the vehicle type.
The new chargers come with smart features. These include touchscreens for charging details and intelligent lighting for easier use. Furthermore, users can manage their charging through the PPC blue app.
With this launch, PPC blue now operates over 36 charging hubs across Greece.
The company also offers more than 2,600 public charging points, including 350 fast-charging stations.
As Greece makes strides in EV infrastructure, the bigger picture across Europe highlights an urgent need for faster, broader charging expansion. Despite surpassing one million public EV charge points in early 2024, the distribution remains uneven, with over 60% concentrated in just three countries.
To meet the European Commission’s target of 3.5 million charging points by 2030, the current installation rate—approximately 150,000 new points in 2023—must more than double. This rapid expansion is essential to support the growing number of electric vehicles and to ensure equitable access to charging facilities across all regions, including rural and underserved areas.
The new hub in Patras isn’t just powerful—it’s a step toward a more connected, electric future.
