As of the end of 2023, there were a total of 56,934 fully electric vehicles (BEV) registered in Poland. The number of publicly accessible charging points increased by more than a third, totaling to 1513. The number of used BEV listed for sale saw a 2.5 times increase in 2023. The Polish EV Outlook Index (PEVO Index) is a monthly compilation of key data and statistics from the e-mobility sector in Poland.
The “Polish EV Outlook” is the most important comprehensive analysis of the zero-emission transportation market in Poland. Launched 5 years ago, PSPA’s report provides a detailed overview of the electric car market, charging infrastructure, EV buyer structure, legislative changes, and e-mobility’s impact on the energy sector. The “PEVO Index” is a monthly version of the “Polish EV Outlook,” including constantly updated key data presented in a concise, infographics format.

More than 40,000 electric vehicles (EVs) have been registered in Poland since the beginning of the year, up 70% compared to the same period of 2021. Of that figure, sales of electric cars were up 140% and hybrids 100%, according to the SAMAR Automotive Market Research Institute.
This is largely thanks to the rollout in late 2021 of a government subsidy scheme, called My e-car, for drivers who choose to lease EVs, with monthly installments often lower than for combustion engine vehicles.
Last November, Poland''s state-owned National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Managementallocated 500 million zlotys ($125 million, €115 million) for subsidies for customers buying EVs. The program is aimed at reducing air pollutant emissions by lowering consumption of fossilfuels in transport, mainly via co-financing purchase or leasing of zero-emission vehicles.
The subsidies arepart of a wider electromobility campaign which aimsto havemore than 600,000 electric carson the roads ofthe EU member state by 2030. Currently, only one in every500 cars registered in the countryis electric comparison, in Germany it''s every 50th new car.
ElectroMobility Poland — an initiative of four Polish power companies — wants to lead the country into the era of electromobility, and is planning to build the first domestic EVin 2023. Poland alreadyhas a thriving e-car battery production industry. Niche e-carproducers also exist as does an internationally renownede-bus maker.
The My e-carsubsidy schemesignificantly cuts long-term rental installments under the operational leasing method —a fixed monthly installment whereby drivers get a car that is ready to drive and only pay for the fuel.
The support is granted in the form of subsidies for the purchase of zero-emission vehicles and subsidies for fees specified in lease agreements. The subsidies are only available to individual customers, but companies, institutions and local governments will be able to apply in the future.
"The My e-carprogram is one of the decisive points," Wojciech Drzewiecki, thepresident of the SAMAR Automotive Market Research Institute, told DW. "E-cars also have quite high residual values, which enablecompanies to prepare good offers with more attractive monthly installments."
Since the launch of the program,leasing firm Arvalhas received over 2,500 inquiries about subsidized vehicles and submitted 450 applications for subsidiesto Bank Ochrony Srodowiska, which supports the program and has so far granted 40 million zlotys under the leasing method.
According to a recent survey conducted bycar leasing firm Webfleet Solutions,over 60% of Polish corporate car fleet operatorsare interested in buying EVsover the next two to threeyears.
The programapplies to EVswith a price of up to 225,000 zlotys, or 211,000 zlotys net for people using the car in the so-called mixed method for bothbusiness and private purposes. The subsidy is 18,750 zlotys,or 27,000 zlotys when using thecar for more than 15,000 km (9,300 miles)per year.
"Experience so far shows that if there were no subsidies, the sale of battery vehicles would remain at a much lower level," said Jakub Farys from the Polish Automotive Industry Association. As Poland isstillat the "initial stage of popularizing EVs" he said subsidies are needed, adding that they could lead to a situation when their popularity will be so great that they areno longernecessary.
As far as leasing an EV in Poland is concerned, leasingfirm Carsmilehas calculated that monthlyinstallments for a battery-powered Dacia Spring, for example, areover 100 zlotys (about €20)cheaper than for the petrol-powered Dacia Sandero. An all-electric Peugeot e-208 is even 228 zlotys cheaper than its combustion equivalent. In the premium car segment, differences in monthly leasing rates are significant, too.
Car experts admit the success of the government-sponsored program has surpassed expectations, adding, however, thatit''s running into capacity snarls. A major problem is processing times for subsidy applications, which are getting longer and longer.
Access to charging stations is another aspect limiting EV market expansion ing mainly publicfast-chargers still makes electric vehiclesmore expensive thancombustion cars, or hybrids.
As of June 2024, Poland''s electric vehicle (EV) market is demonstrating robust growth and increased infrastructure development, according to the latest data from the Polish EV Outlook Index (PEVO Index). This monthly report provides key statistics and insights into the e-mobility sector in Poland, revealing significant progress in electric vehicle adoption, charging infrastructure, and the secondary market for zero-emission vehicles.
