The “Polish EV Outlook 2023” report offers a detailed overview of the current state and future projections for the Polish market of zero- and low-emission transport, spanning almost 300 pages. A prominent feature of the report is a thorough analysis of the public charging infrastructure sector, covering several aspects such as the current state of network expansion, favored locations and manufacturers among major operators, charger capacity and accessibility, infrastructure distribution in various cities and voivodeships, market share of key stakeholders, and compliance of individual municipalities with their responsibilities outlined in the Act on Electromobility and Alternative Fuels.
In 2022, the total number of public charging stations in Poland witnessed an increase of almost 30%, marking a significantly higher growth rate than that of 2021. The installation of 633 new chargers contributed to this growth. Notably, the number of fast charging stations, i.e., those with a capacity of over 50 kW, has been on a steady rise. The percentage of such chargers in the Polish network rose from 8% in 2021 to 11% in 2022. This expansion of DC stations has resulted in an overall increase in the total capacity of operational infrastructure in Poland. The capacity increased by as much as 44% in 2022 alone, from approximately 68 to 98 MW – says Jan Wiśniewski, Head of PSPA Research and Analysis Centre.
– The data obtained from the operators correspond to current trends in the e-mobility sector and confirm the steadily increasing popularity of the CCS standard in relation to CHAdeMO among BEV drivers. In 2022, more than half of all charging sessions at public stations were carried out using the former type of connector. "Polish EV Outlook 2023" also shows that there is a steady increase in the number of customers registered with the networks of the leading operators. In 2022, the average growth in this area was 106% YoY – says Jan Wiśniewski.
“Polish EV Outlook 2023” presents two potential scenarios for the expansion of public charging points in Poland. These scenarios consider a range of variables and key trends, including technological advancements, market changes, and political factors such as EU-led initiatives to support public charging infrastructure in Member States, the evolving EV charging habits of drivers, the growing range of electric vehicles, and the entrance of large operators with foreign capital – primarily international oil companies – into the Polish market.

It is already certain that in January 2022 the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management will start a call for applications under the new priority programme entitled “Support for electric vehicles charging infrastructure and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure”. During the industry meeting at the Powiśle Power Plant, which was an extensive presentation of the potential, possibilities and achievements of the Polish „charger” industry, the assumptions of this programme were presented. Thanks to it, a network of more than 17 thousand electric vehicle charging points and 20 hydrogen stations will be created across Poland.
Together with the Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment, Adam Guibourgé-Czetwertyński, the meeting was attended by: President of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, Maciej Chorowski, Vice-President of NFOŚiGW, Artur Lorkowski, as well as the heads of industry organisations and associations and the representatives of several dozen companies operating in the sector of ecological automotive and zero-emission transport. It was an opportunity to discuss, exchange opinions and experiences in the field of electromobility as well as to present available solutions in the field of charging electric vehicles.
We have interpreted the global trends properly. Even now, Poland is the largest exporter of car batteries in the European Union and the demand for lithium-ion batteries manufactured in our country and necessary for the production of electric vehicles, is constantly and dynamically growing. Today, they are Poland’s number one export product. Even in the difficult, pandemic year of 2020, their export recorded the largest annual increase in sales, as a single item in the statistics of Polish foreign trade.
– stresses the Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment, Adam Guibourgé-Czetwertyński.
This is one of the elements of the government’s strategy to develop broadly understood electromobility in Poland, including the electrification of individual and collective transport, and thus – to reduce the number of vehicles emitting carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) on Polish roads. The new programme of NFOŚiGW aimed at supporting electric and hydrogen vehicle charging infrastructure is an important supplement to this strategic line of development.
– adds the deputy head of the Ministry of Climate and Environment.
The financial support addressed by our institution to these future-proof industries undoubtedly contributes to creating a competitive advantage for Polish companies in the increasingly important branch of the European economy, i.e. the charger and battery industry. The properness of these activities is confirmed by existing success of Polish companies in the global market.
– highlights the President of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, Maciej Chorowski.
At the same time, it is an ecological challenge, as the objective is to produce batteries with a lower carbon footprint than before, to avoid and prevent environmental pollution and to create an efficient and productive car battery recycling system. In our current activities and plans, we attach particular importance to climate and environmental issues.
– adds the head of NFOŚiGW.
Today’s meeting at the Powiśle Power Plant was a manifestation of substantive and expert cooperation between public institutions and the representatives of the industry, as also confirmed by the participants in the talks.
The launch by NFOŚiGW of a programme supporting the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure is a very important step towards the quantitative, but also qualitative, development of the infrastructure market in Poland, based on DC stations. The rules of cofinancing have been the subject of many analyses and consultations carried out by PSPA, thanks to which they correspond to a number of demands of the industry.
– admits Maciej Mazur, Managing Director of the Polish Alternative Fuels Association.
It should be stressed that the programme provides for appropriately higher subsidies for high-power stations allowing to use the potential of new generation electric cars. According to the forecasts of the Polish EV Outlook, by 2025 there should be at least 43 thousand public points in Poland. Without implementing subsidies and an effectively working subsidy mechanism, it will not be possible to achieve this result.
It should be noted that in the coming years the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management will allocate as much as PLN 1.87 billion in total for the development of electric vehicle charging and refuelling infrastructure. From this pool of money, PLN 1 billion will be allocated for developing the power network for the needs of electric vehicle chargers, and the above-mentioned amount of PLN 870 million of subsidies from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management will support investing in car charging stations and points themselves as well as in hydrogen refuelling stations.
