The share of electric vehicles in new passenger car sales in Poland could rise to nearly 15% by 2025. The Polish fleet, numbering over 20 million vehicles, holds enormous potential for electrification, and due to proposed EU regulations, the total power of charging stations in Poland should increase up to 15-fold within three years. During the New Mobility Congress 2022, PSPA presented its latest report, which outlines the areas offering the best prospects for the development of electromobility in the Polish market from the perspective of foreign investors.
Opinion of Maciej Mazur, Managing Director of the Polish Alternative Fuels Association:
– We are presenting the “Poland Drives E-Mobility” report, which we developed with a special focus on the opportunities that the Polish market creates for companies in the Dutch electromobility industry. With over 50,000 electric vehicles and more than 4,400 charging points, Poland is still in a very early stage of sustainable transport development. Furthermore, our country represents one of the largest light and heavy transport markets, with significant challenges in these sectors. Out of 30,000 heavy-duty vehicles registered in Poland in 2021, only 4 were equipped with an electric drive. The grid and energy mix are also on the verge of massive investments and changes. However, the electrification of transport in Poland is supported by introduced support instruments, such as subsidy mechanisms implemented by the Polish public administration. These include the “My Electrician” program worth approximately 147 million euros, intended for subsidizing electric car buyers, and a grant program worth approximately 183 million euros for charging and hydrogen refueling infrastructure. Poland also possesses very high production potential in the e-mobility sector. Our country is a leading supplier of electric buses and lithium-ion batteries in Europe. We also produce, among other things, numerous components, electrified powertrains, and charging stations. Poland is driving the electromobility market, but it can do so more effectively by strengthening cooperation with Dutch industry leaders.
