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.

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.

January 2026 in Norway saw EV registrations drop by over 76% after the full VAT rate kicked in. In Poland, prices are falling and the NaszEauto program cuts purchase costs by up to PLN 40,000.
Fiat and Abarth lower prices on their electric line-up in Poland. The Fiat 500e starts from around 110,000 PLN, Grande Panda from around 100,000 PLN, Fiat 600e from around 130,000 PLN, and Abarth 600e from around 150,000 PLN.
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.
