According to data as of the end of December 2025, Poland had 132,775 fully electric passenger and commercial vehicles (BEVs) registered in total. Over the twelve months of 2025, that figure increased by 52,749 units, which—according to the Electromobility Meter launched by the Polish Automotive Industry Association (PZPM) and the Polish New Mobility Association (PSNM)—represents an increase 118% higher than in the corresponding period of 2024.
BEVs, PHEVs, buses and two-wheelers: the electric fleet continues to grow
By the end of December 2025, 237,649 passenger cars with electric drivetrains were on Polish roads. The fully electric passenger-car fleet (BEV – battery electric vehicles) reached 121,606 units, while the plug-in hybrid fleet (PHEV – plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) totaled 116,043 units.
Poland also had 11,672 electric light commercial and heavy-duty vehicles registered. The fleet of electric mopeds and motorcycles continued to expand as well, reaching 28,456 units by the end of December. At the same time, the number of passenger and commercial hybrid vehicles (non-plug-in and plug-in combined in the reported category) grew to 1,274,287 units.
The stock of zero-emission buses in Poland increased to 1,854 units by the end of the month—of which 1,731 were fully electric, while 123 were hydrogen-powered.
Charging infrastructure: nearly 11,800 public charging points
Infrastructure has been expanding in parallel with the growing electric vehicle fleet. As of the end of December 2025, Poland had 11,762 publicly accessible EV charging points.
- 37% (4,399) were fast direct-current (DC) chargers
- 63% were slower alternating-current (AC) chargers with a power rating up to 22 kW
“The best month in history”: December sets a new BEV record
“In terms of BEV registrations, December 2025 was the best month in the history of Polish electromobility—around 7.7 thousand new electric passenger cars left dealerships,” said Jan Wiśniewski, Director of the Research and Analysis Center at PSNM.
He noted that over the full 12 months, the BEV share exceeded 7%, and that Poland added nearly 53,000 fully electric cars in 2025, more than twice as many as the year before.
Wiśniewski highlighted a symbolic shift in infrastructure growth: in 2025, operators launched significantly more new public DC charging points (approx. 1,730) than AC points (approx. 1,370). He also pointed out that the number of charging points along the TEN-T network increased by more than 63%.
“After such strong results, we enter 2026 with moderate optimism. By mid-January, more than 92% of the budget of the ‘NaszEauto’ subsidy program had already been used, which means it could literally be the last call to purchase an EV with government support,” he added. In his view, this may cause the strongest BEV registration numbers to appear in the first weeks of 2026 rather than at year-end, unlike in previous years. Later in the year, the end of the subsidy program may be partly offset by changes including new depreciation limits for vehicles under Poland’s income tax rules.
Subsidies drove the record year—2026 may cool, but ESG could support demand
“December 2025, just like the full year, proved record-breaking in terms of new zero-emission vehicle registrations,” said Jakub Faryś, President of PZPM. He emphasized that the results were strongly influenced by an attractive subsidy system, under which support for passenger cars and vans could reach PLN 40,000 and PLN 70,000 respectively.
However, Faryś cautioned that based on information from Poland’s Ministry of Climate and Environment suggesting that a similar program is unlikely to appear soon, 2026 may end with weaker results than 2025. At the same time, he expressed hope that the “popularization effect” of the subsidy program will cushion the decline—meaning that even if 2026 results are lower, they may not fall dramatically.
He also pointed to the growing role of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) policies: as more companies implement ESG strategies, the need to add a certain number of zero-emission vehicles to corporate fleets may increasingly support demand.
“Looking back at 2025, we do so with great satisfaction—and we await the 2026 results with optimism,” Faryś concluded.
About PSNM and PZPM
The Polish New Mobility Association (PSNM) is Poland’s largest industry organization focused on developing the market for electromobility and alternative fuels. It brings together more than 270 companies across the electromobility value chain—vehicle and infrastructure manufacturers, charging operators, fuel and energy groups, financial institutions, transport companies, technology providers, and other stakeholders active in sustainable transport. PSNM is part of AVERE – The European Association for Electromobility, Europe’s largest organization dedicated to electromobility market development.
The Polish Automotive Industry Association (PZPM) is Poland’s largest employer organization in the automotive sector, currently representing 50 companies including vehicle manufacturers and their representatives, motorcycle and scooter producers, and bodybuilders operating in Poland. PZPM is a member of ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association), ACEM (European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers), and CLCCR (European Association of Body, Trailer and Semi-Trailer Manufacturers). It represents member companies in relations with public administration in Poland and Europe, the media, trade unions, other industry organizations, and society at large.
