Norway has done it again – in November 2025 plug-ins grabbed 98.4% of the market, and BEVs alone 97.6%. The Tesla Model Y scored 3,645 registrations, and Norway's BEV fleet just overtook diesel. We look at Poland's BEV market in 2025: subsidies, charging infrastructure and Chinese competition.
Norway has done it again – in November 2025 plug-ins grabbed 98.4% of the market, and BEVs – fully electric cars – as much as 97.6%. It's as if half of Norwegian drivers decided that combustion cars belong to relics of a provincial past consigned to the dustbin. The Tesla Model Y triumphed once more, scoring 3,645 registrations – more than the next 12 models combined. Norway's BEV fleet just overtook diesel – 31.78% vs 31.76%. And what about us in Poland? Well, we're still on the starting charger, although something is beginning to spark.
Poland's BEV market in 2025 exploded – registrations more than doubled versus 2024, and BEV's share hit 6%. It's not just percentages – in concrete terms, in October EVs accounted for 9% of new cars, 7 percentage points more than a year earlier. We have the "NaszEauto" programme with a subsidy of up to 40,000 PLN and a budget of 1.18 billion PLN – and it really works. Most importantly, infrastructure is growing at express speed: fast-charging stations up more than 83% in a year. Poland is starting to look like a country that knows what it's doing – not like a student counting on someone else's help.
The data show that the number of charging points in Poland has already exceeded 3,200, giving hope for further market development. For comparison, in 2024 there were only 1,800 points, so clearly something is happening. It is increasingly clear that Poles are beginning to see the potential of EVs and the benefits of using them.
The 2026 Tesla Model Y "Long Range" costs… watch out… between 186,520 PLN and 246,520 PLN in the Launch Series AWD version. That's roughly the price of a small flat on the outskirts – except it's a car. The standard RWD Start 2026 can be found on the market for around 184,990 PLN – a fine deal for anyone who likes luxury and a WLTP range of 534 km. It does 0–100 km/h in 7.2 s. It sounds like a racer, but in a corporate suit. The price? Brutally concrete. But the competition? Just watch.
The comparison table above shows the differences in price, range and acceleration between popular EV models available in Poland. Growing competition in the market may contribute to further development of the BEV segment.
It is worth noting that other EV models appearing on the Polish market may also attract drivers' attention. For example, the new version of the Opel Mokka-e, with its 400 km range and starting price of 150,000 PLN, is becoming a real alternative to the Tesla. It is worth watching how the market develops and what innovations the future brings.
Chinese SUVs are starting to eat our lunch – the Xpeng G9 offers ultra-fast charging up to 525 kW, 585 km of range and starts from ~59,600 € – roughly 280,000 PLN. It launches on lease for 529 €/month with a 4,370 € down payment. It's like a subscription to a luxury cinema with a power heist. The MG S6 EV – a new Chinese D-segment crossover – also enters the game. 77 kWh, WLTP range around 485 km; 4,708 mm long – an alternative to the Enyaq or ID.4, but usually cheaper and less boring. Is it a serious threat? Sure – especially as Tesla starts to look like a monoculture: elegant, but one-note.
Chinese brands are bringing more and more models to market, which may attract the attention of Polish drivers. In 2025 sales of Chinese EVs grew 150% versus the previous year. Chinese cars offer not only attractive prices but also modern technologies that could revolutionise our market.
Norway now has more BEVs in its fleet than diesel – 31.78% vs 31.76%. It's so absurd it's almost beautiful. What about us? 100,000+ registered BEVs by July 2025 (around 94,000 passenger cars and 9,600 vans), up 65% year on year. Things have got serious – we even have 10,730 charging points, of which 34% are fast DC. But BEV market share is still only 5%. It's like a backyard sprinter who has only just learned to run. The potential is huge, but we need to put away the wellies and learn how to sprint.
On top of that, many Polish cities are starting to introduce low-emission zones, forcing drivers to switch to electric. In 2025 Warsaw plans to increase the number of charging stations to 1,500, which should significantly improve the BEV experience in the capital.
"Mój elektryk 1.0" ended in August 2024 and paralysed the market, because leasing – 70% of purchases – ground to a halt. "NaszEauto" has helped, but it still looks like a patch plugging a hole in the roof. And for business it still doesn't pay off? Charging networks are growing, but the market needs fuel – i.e. stable, accessible subsidies and government logic. Without it even Tesla will sit on a charger and wonder whether to drive further.
To sum up: Norway is already an electric galaxy. Poland? A brick in that building – but a solid brick. Prices have risen, range has improved, finally we have infrastructure and Chinese rivals who are not ashamed to barge in. Clarkson would probably say: "This isn't a revolution, it's a slow rollercoaster – but at least it's moving." And what comes next? Will Polish tastes cool down once Poles get bored of Tesla, the way iPhones know boredom? We'll wait – and hope Clarkson's jokes only get airtime in traffic jams.

What share of WLTP range does real-world range reach over a year in Poland?
The new BMW iX3 (Neue Klasse) sells out faster than the Debrecen plant can build it. We break down 805 km of WLTP range, 469 hp, 400 kW charging and a 310,000 PLN starting price against the Audi Q6 e-tron, Porsche Macan Electric and Mercedes EQE SUV.
Zurich cancels electric bus contracts with Hess and MAN after HVAC failures, door electronics issues, and supply chain delays. The new tender is valued at approximately EUR 150 million.
Electric buses are too wide for Devon's lanes and Poland's Old Towns. Battery weight, roof mass and turning geometry force detours, route cuts and costly intersection rebuilds.
