According to the latest report from Powerdot, the Polish electric vehicle charging infrastructure market is set for stabilization after a period of rapid growth. Following a record-breaking 2025, which saw a 36% increase in the number of charging points, 2026 will bring growth dynamics of 15-20%. Experts indicate that the current number of chargers more than meets the needs of the national electric vehicle fleet, reducing so-called range anxiety.
Slowing growth rate
The projected increase in the number of chargers in 2026 will be 15-20%, representing a decrease in dynamics compared to the 36% recorded in the previous year.
Market saturation and EU standards
In Poland, there are 10 electric cars per one charging point, placing the country above the European Union average in terms of availability.
Dynamic development of fast chargers
The fast DC charger segment grew by 65%, translating to 2,667 points available to drivers at the end of 2025.
Poland's electric vehicle charging infrastructure network is entering a new phase of development. After a period of extremely dynamic expansion, 2026 is expected to bring a calming of investment sentiment. According to forecasts by Powerdot, the number of publicly accessible charging points will increase by approximately 15-20%, reaching a level of 13,500-14,000 devices by year-end. This is a clear slowdown compared to 2025 data, which recorded an impressive 36% growth in the total number of chargers. Currently, the situation on the Polish market is favorable from a user's perspective. There are an average of 10 electric cars per publicly accessible charging point, a result better than the European Union average. Experts emphasize that the massive investments made in the last three years have led to a state where the infrastructure secures the needs of the existing vehicle fleet with a surplus. The main driver of further changes is expected to be major highways. In the DC (direct current) charger segment, growth was exceptionally high, reaching 65% year-on-year, which significantly facilitates intercity travel. The beginnings of the charging network development in Poland date back to 2011, when the first charging points were launched in the largest agglomerations, but the real investment impulse came only after 2018 with the entry into force of the Electromobility Act. Despite optimistic data on market saturation, the industry points to the necessity of further modernization of the network along highways and expressways. The number of fully electric cars (BEV) has already exceeded 121,000 units, forcing continuous adaptation of the transmission networks to higher loads. Investors announce that 2026 will be a time for optimizing charger locations and focusing on user comfort, not just the number of new points. This is key to finally eliminating drivers' concerns about long journeys outside city centers. 2025-12-31: 11762, 2026-12-31: 13750 10 — this is the current number of electric cars per charging point Infrastructure Growth Dynamics yoy: : → ; : → Liberal media highlight the market success and the fact that Poland exceeds the EU average in terms of charger availability per car. | Conservative media may point to the slowdown in investments as a signal of a development barrier for national electromobility.
