Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems ((LNNS,volume 207))

Abstract

Currently, in Poland, compared to other Western European countries, the electric vehicle market is in the initial stage of development, hence there are significantly fewer electric vehicles on Polish roads. The main reasons for the small number of electric cars in Poland include relatively high prices of electric cars, the lack or deficiencies in the available charging infrastructure, manifested by a small number of charging points for electric cars, and the technological problem related to the limited range of electric cars. The chapter presents the issues of promoting electric cars based on incentive programs, preliminary results of research on the role and importance of incentive programs in promoting the purchase of electric cars in Poland, and a review of the so-called good practices from around the world in the field of promoting electric cars and the operation of electric car charging points. The conclusions drawn from these practices can be a valuable source of information, tips and guidelines when carrying out works at the initial stage of electromobility development in Poland.
