It is very important to have full representation in Greece that effectively covers all geographical sections.

• Batteries – In order for the electric vehicle to have great autonomy, its batteries must have a large capacity (> 200Ah) and the operating voltage must be 48V and above. In addition, branded batteries have been proven to have significantly higher performance and lifetime.
• Safety – Electric vehicles carrying passengers and cargo must be totally safe to use. It is important that they have modern hydraulic brakes on all 4 wheels with a separate handbrake system.
• Functionality – The need of use of electric vehicles is 24 hours a day, vehicles must have a complete system of traffic lights. Their equipment also offers important solutions with folding rear seat, easy-to-use cargo areas, protective passenger tents.
