Poland wants 6k car charging stations by 2020

According to a draft bill on electromobility, Poland will have over 6,000 charging stations by 2020. Moreover, it plans to open 70 compressed natural gas stations by then as well. “The bill assumes the construction of a base infrastructure network for alternative fuels in urban agglomerations, densely populated areas and along roads belonging to trans-European transport corridors. The development of the core network will allow free movement of cars using alternative fuels - without fear of lack of top-up. It is planned that by the end of 2020, the core network will create 6,000 electricity charging points with normal power and 400 high power electric charge points and 70 CNG refueling points located in 32 urban agglomerations and densely populated areas,” the draft bill said. The stations would be initially built using public subsidies. If local targets are not met this way by end-2019, municipalities would be charged with planning the infrastructure and local power distributors would be charged with building it.
