On Wednesday 26th August, the Polish Association of Automotive Industry ( PZPM) and the Polish Alternative Fuels Association ( PSPA) released data showing Poland has 13,057 electric passenger cars registered on the road.

Electric & Hybrid vehicles as July 2020 according to pspa.com.pl | pzpm.org.pl

The split between fully electric and plug-in hybrid cars is surprisingly close:

• 7,231 are fully electric (BEV) – 55%

• 5,826 are plug-in hybrid (PHEV) – 45%

The figures released show that registrations of BEV and PHEV cars are up 78% on the same period between January and July 2019. The report also included an update on other electric vehicles registered in Poland, with the notable 172% year on year increase in electric buses as 106 out of 335 registered buses were added during the first 7 months of 2020.

Analysis also showed that Hybrid car registrations climbed to a total of 153,951, with over 30,000 registrations between January and July 2020, up 28% on the same period in 2019. The report showed there were 1,224 public charging stations providing 2,319 individual charging points – of which 33% were fast DC charging and 67% slower AC charging.

The Polish government recently announced a subsidy program for electric vehicles that drew some criticism for lacking a compelling incentive to consumers, however the move by the government in Warsaw is acknowledged as a step in the right direction.
