Dynamic growth of e-mobility

Poland's e-mobility market is seeing impressive growth. In 2025, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) rose by 44% year over year, and the network of car charging stations is being expanded at a rapid pace. Currently, Poland operates more than 13,500 charging points, of which approximately 3,000 are technically ready and awaiting only UDT inspection.

This is the result of major investments – the total amount allocated to charging infrastructure development has exceeded PLN 0.5 billion. However, despite the strong development momentum, experts forecast a slowdown – the annual number of new car charging stations may fall from 4,500 to approximately 2,500–3,500.

Car charging stations: figures and forecasts

At the end of June 2025, Poland already had 10,255 public electric car charging points, of which:

  • 33% were fast DC chargers (for charging within tens of minutes),
  • 67% were AC chargers with power up to 22 kW (for overnight or working-hour charging).

The largest number of car charging stations is located in major cities:

  • Warsaw – 795 points,
  • Gdańsk – 348,
  • Kraków – 311,
  • Poznań – 294,
  • Szczecin – 286.

Extended formalities

Although the technical infrastructure is ready, long grid-connection timelines remain a problem – the waiting time for connection to the power grid can reach up to 18 months.

Electric car registrations in Poland – 2025 statistics

At the end of May 2025, Poland had registered:

  • 94,123 BEV electric cars (passenger, light commercial, and heavy-duty combined),
  • of which 85,178 were passenger BEVs.

Only in May 2025, the following were registered:

  • 2,816 new BEV electric cars, representing an increase of 118% year over year.

Top 5 most-registered EV models – May 2025

Below are the most popular electric car models registered in May 2025:

  1. Tesla Model Y – 188 units
  2. Hyundai Ioniq – 149 units
  3. Omoda E5 – 136 units
  4. BMW i4 – 95 units
  5. Volkswagen ID.4 – 82 units

What is next for e-mobility?

Opportunities:

  • A mature EV market with a growing number of registrations,
  • High subsidies for car charging stations – particularly along high-speed transit routes (TEN-T),
  • Growing climate awareness among drivers and businesses.

Challenges:

  • Long timelines for connecting new stations to the grid,
  • High costs of modernising the power grid in smaller towns,
  • Slowing investment momentum due to administrative barriers.

Summary

Electric cars in Poland are gaining popularity – both among individual drivers and businesses. At the same time, charging infrastructure is developing dynamically. Every new car charging station is a step towards sustainable transport.

For businesses, local governments, and investors – this is an ideal moment to act: build your own charging infrastructure, take advantage of subsidies, and strengthen your position in the market of the future.

Volkswagen ID. Polo in Poland: an electric return to the ordinary

Volkswagen ID. Polo in Poland: an electric return to the ordinary

From 2026, the Volkswagen ID. Polo is meant to be an electric hatchback for "ordinary people" — with a 2600 mm wheelbase, up to 450 km of range, and a price below PLN 100,000 after subsidies. We examine what that promise really means, how the ID. Polo compares with the Renault 5 E-Tech, Peugeot e-208 and other rivals, and whether the "cheap" version will actually reach Polish showrooms.
