Over half of Poles still opt for combustion engines

Over 57,000 electric cars registered in Poland in 2023, a 52% jump year-on-year. While it looks good, the reality is starker: electrics only hold 3.6% of the new car market, with petrol and diesel still dominating at 52%. Expert Katarzyna Gaweł warns Poland may not be ready for EU's stricter emission rules and Clean Transport Zones.

She believes these won't push people to electric cars, but might instead decrease car ownership and encourage public transport and car rentals.
