Starting October 20, 2025, the Polish government’s “NaszEauto” (OurEV) program will launch in a new, expanded edition. The Ministry of Climate and Environment has introduced a series of changes that significantly broaden the pool of eligible beneficiaries and extend subsidies to new types of vehicles. Under the updated rules, support will be available not only to private individuals and businesses but also to public institutions, NGOs, and national parks. The program will now include light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes (N1) and small passenger minibuses up to 5 tonnes (M2).
Broader Access and a Stronger Environmental Impact
Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment Krzysztof Bolesta emphasized that the reform aims to better match the program to market realities and maximize its environmental benefits.
“We are reshaping the NaszEauto program to make it even more responsive to beneficiaries’ needs. We are opening it to new groups — NGOs, public institutions, and national parks — as well as to new categories of vehicles. This way, support will reach those who can deliver the greatest ecological and social impact,” said Deputy Minister Bolesta.
The updated program aligns with the objectives of Poland’s National Recovery Plan (KPO) and is intended to accelerate the green transformation of transport. Beyond individual EV owners, financial assistance will now cover entities involved in public and social services — from educational and care facilities to healthcare providers, local governments, and national parks.
This means that zero-emission vehicles will soon appear in schools, hospitals, and care homes, serving daily operational needs while reducing emissions and noise in public spaces.
Higher Grants and Simplified Rules
The new edition of NaszEauto covers three main vehicle categories, each with revised subsidy levels:
- Passenger cars (M1): up to PLN 30,000, or PLN 40,000 with a scrappage bonus.
- Light commercial vehicles (N1, up to 3.5 tonnes): up to PLN 70,000.
- Small passenger minibuses (M2, up to 5 tonnes): up to PLN 600,000.
One key change is the elimination of the additional bonus for low-income individuals. Instead, all applicants will receive a higher base amount of support, simplifying the application process and speeding up the approval of subsidies.
Supporting Both Private and Public Transport
By extending the list of eligible beneficiaries and vehicle types, the initiative aims to support not only individual mobility but also institutional and public transport.
According to the Ministry of Climate, the program’s expected outcomes include:
- Cleaner air in cities through reduced emissions,
- Improved environmental protection in national parks (thanks to subsidized electric service vehicles), and
- Enhanced access to EVs in sectors previously excluded from support schemes.
Electric vans and minibuses are expected to play an important role in local transport, municipal logistics, and public service operations.
Additionally, the reform is projected to stimulate the service and charging infrastructure market, which continues to expand alongside the growing number of zero-emission vehicles.
Application Process and Deadlines
Applications for NaszEauto funding will be accepted until April 30, 2026, or until the allocated budget is exhausted. Applicants can submit requests online. Full details, including eligibility criteria and required documents, are available on the official program website: www.naszeauto.gov.pl.
A Step Toward Greener Mobility
With this overhaul, the NaszEauto program is evolving from a consumer-focused EV subsidy scheme into a comprehensive tool supporting sustainable mobility across both public and private sectors. By expanding eligibility and simplifying access to funding, the Ministry hopes to speed up Poland’s transition toward a low-emission transport system and bring tangible environmental benefits to communities nationwide.
