The electric vehicle market in Poland, despite significant growth, is expected to slow down drastically in 2026 due to the depletion of government subsidies.
Poland has experienced a significant surge in electric vehicle (EV) sales, achieving the highest growth rate in the EU last year, with a remarkable increase of 161.1% compared to the EU average of 29.9%. However, this rapid expansion may be short-lived as the electric vehicle market is projected to face a strong slowdown in 2026, triggered by the exhaustion of government subsidies intended to support this growth. The subsidies, totaling 1.1 billion PLN, ran out three months earlier than expected, creating uncertainty in the market.
