PPC blue, the electric mobility division of the PPC group in Romania, continues to expand its national network by acquiring the Hermes Flow network, with 116 charging points. With the integration of the new stations, users will have access to a larger network of fast and ultra-fast stations, gradually available in the PPC blue app in the coming period.
“Electric mobility evolves when drivers can travel freely, with confidence in the network that supports them. Expanding our footprint by acquiring the Hermes Flow network brings us closer to the goal of providing a predictable charging experience at a national level. We appreciate the dedication and effort made by the Hermes Flow team in developing this network, their contribution represents an important part of the energy transition that we are building together”, said Andreea-Dana Popescu, General Manager of PPC Blue Romania.
The taken over network consists of 72 charging points in Bucharest-Ilfov and the rest in 10 counties in Romania. The new stations are located in easily accessible areas, for example in 6 Carrefour stores, 15 Romstal units as well as several malls in Bucharest and the country. Of the 116 charging points, 97 charging points are fast and ultrafast, with powers between 50k and 160kW.
The integration of the charging point network taken over from Hermes Flow into the PPC blue network and the mobile application will be carried out in the immediate future. During the takeover process, the stations will be unavailable for a short period, approximately 2–3 hours, on the day they are transferred. Until the integration is completed, they will remain visible in the Hermes network, and later they will be found in the application and on the PPC blue map.
