The Electromobility Counter is updated by the Polish Automotive Industry Association and the Polish Alternative Fuels Association. The report shows how many electric vehicles are currently on Polish roads and how many charging stations are in operation. The study is based on analyses of data from the Central Vehicle Register (Centralna Ewidencja Pojazdów), as well as own research and records.

At the end of July 2022, there were 2293 publicly available electric vehicle charging stations (4431 points) in Poland. 29 % of them were direct current (DC) fast charging stations, and 71% – slow alternating current (AC) chargers with a capacity of 22 kW or less. In July, 61 new public charging stations (104 points) were launched.
