Carrefour Expands Electric Vehicle Charging Network in Poland

Carrefour’s Major Developments This Week

Carrefour has entered a strategic partnership with Eleport to significantly expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across Poland. The agreement will see the installation of 170 charging points at over 70 Carrefour-owned commercial facilities in 65 cities. This initiative aims to promote ecological transportation and make EV charging more accessible to Polish consumers. The charging stations, powered entirely by renewable energy, will enhance customer convenience by allowing them to charge their vehicles while shopping. This move is part of Carrefour’s broader “Carrefour 2026” strategy, which focuses on sustainability and reducing CO2 emissions​ (CleanTechnica)​​ (Electronic Specifier)​.

In another significant development, Carrefour has integrated OpenAI’s generative AI technologies into its services. The company launched a new chatbot, Hopla, based on ChatGPT, which is now available on the Carrefour.fr website. This AI-powered chatbot is designed to assist customers with their shopping needs, offering personalized product recommendations based on budget and dietary preferences. This initiative is aimed at enhancing the customer shopping experience through advanced technology and is part of Carrefour’s efforts to leverage digital tools to improve service delivery​ (Carrefour)​.
