Poland lags behind the EU in terms of electromobility

Poland is one of the last places in the European Union in terms of the development of zero-emission vehicle fleets and charging infrastructure. The share of electric cars in Poland is almost four times lower than the European average. The procedures for connecting charging stations must be streamlined as soon as possible, the support program for electric cars must be expanded, and the installation of private chargers must be made easier. Without this, the development of sustainable transport in Poland will never get off the ground," according to the latest publication of the Polish Alternative Fuels Association (PSPA) "The Green Book of New Mobility".
Although the PSPA publication contains 120 specific legal solutions that the new government can use, it is difficult not to mention the great plans of the previous government. And missed opportunities. Back in the days of Prime Minister Beata Szydło, Mateusz Morawiecki – then the deputy prime minister – promised one million electric cars on Polish roads by 2025. Meanwhile, according to PSPA data, by the end of 2023, we had… only 55,000. Currently, there are about 57,000 fully electric cars registered in Poland, and there are also 6,000 charging points. However, despite the growth, we are still at the back of Europe.
