The Polish government has introduced the “NaszEauto” subsidy program to support families in purchasing electric vehicles.

The initiative, launched by the Ministry of Climate and Environment (MKiS) on Tuesday, has a total budget of 1.6 billion zlotys (€379 million). Eligible buyers can receive up to 40,000 zlotys (€9,480) in financial support, which includes a base grant and a bonus for scrapping older vehicles.

Deputy Minister Krzysztof Bolesta emphasized the government’s commitment to making electric vehicles more accessible. “We recognize that these vehicles represent the future of the automotive industry. That’s why we’re introducing NaszEauto to promote EV adoption rather than imposing taxes on combustion vehicles,” Bolesta stated.

He noted that this may be the final subsidy program for EVs in Poland. “Europe is gradually moving away from such incentives, and we will follow suit,” he added.

Applications for subsidies will open on February 3. The program also covers leasing and long-term rental of electric cars. Funding for the initiative is sourced from Poland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan, part of the EU mechanism designed to address challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Only brand-new electric cars with a mileage of up to 6,000 kilometers are eligible. The purchase price must not exceed 225,000 zlotys (€53,326), and demonstration vehicles are also included.

According to a study by the Polish Association of New Mobility, interest in electric vehicles has significantly increased. In 2024, around 24% of Poles expressed an intention to buy an EV, compared to just 7% in 2020 — a threefold increase in just four years.
