Favourable Government Initiatives and New EV Business Models Boost Poland’s Electromobility Market

Poland’s electromobility market is ripe for growth. Favourable government initiatives such as the Electromobility Plan and Electromobility and Alternative Fuels Act are reshaping local mobility and igniting innovative clean technologies to achieve higher competitiveness and energy optimization.

Growth will be augmented by consumer incentives and the simultaneous development of infrastructure, energy distribution, and product offerings. Players should look for opportunities in charging point infrastructure development, automotive supply chain transformation, and public transport modernisation to gain a competitive advantage.

Poland Electromobility Market, 2016–2025, recent research from Frost & Sullivan’s Mobility Growth Partnership subscription, finds that the EV market in Poland grew at an impressive CAGR of 77 percent during 2011-2016, with Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) being the best-selling model for three consecutive years.

“Developing a charging point network will be critical to electric vehicle (EV) growth. Players should assess potential locations for the installation of charging stations, collaborate with municipalities to obtain permits for charging point construction, and consider merging the efforts of charging point operators, utilities, and oil and gas companies to leverage existing capabilities in charging technology, energy generation, and distribution networks,” said Frost & Sullivan Mobility Consulting analyst, Ivan Kondratenko.

“New EV mobility business models are emerging through technology advancements, particularly app-based, on-demand services that encourage access to mobility rather than ownership, such as carsharing and electric taxis,” noted Kondratenko. “Players should seek to tap into these lucrative nascent markets.”
