Read article →Poland's public charging infrastructure has expanded considerably since 2020, driven by EU directives on alternative fuels infrastructure (AFIR) and domestic investment programmes co-financed through the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.
As of early 2024, over 6,200 public charging points operate across the country, with the highest concentrations in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, and Gdańsk. The national target under the Polish Alternative Fuels Act (Ustawa z dnia 11 stycznia 2018 r. o elektromobilności) sets minimum density requirements for municipalities with over 100,000 inhabitants.
Residential charging represents a parallel infrastructure challenge. Most Polish apartment residents do not have access to a dedicated parking space with electrical supply, making home wallbox installation available primarily to house owners and residents of newer housing estates with EV-ready infrastructure.
