Problemy rozwoju elektromobilności w Polsce w kontekście krajowej polityki energetycznej
Problems of Electromobility Development in Poland in the Context of National Energy Policy

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the issue of developing electromobility in Poland against the background ofplans related to shaping the national energy policy. Electric vehicles are an important challenge fortransport policy in the world. Their growing popularity is a response to the problems of environmentalpollution and is associated with activities to ensure sustainable development. Poland is a State thatintends to move towards the development of electromobile transport. An appropriate strategy was preparedfor this purpose, and the law was established and the responsible institutions were identified inthis regard. Unfortunately, the main idea that accompanies electromobility – that is, ecology, does not go handin hand with plans in the field of Polish energy policy. According to official government programs, energyproduction in Poland until 2040 is to be based on the use of coal. This means that electric vehicleswill be powered by the so-called “dirty energy”. The hypothesis of the article is that the development ofelectromobility in Poland is difficult to justify in terms of a positive impact on the natural environmentand climate protection in a situation where energy production is based on coal. Without changes in energypolicy, electromobility “in Polish” is a failed idea, because it does not meet the basic assumptions– that is, it will not contribute to reducing the negative impact of transport on the environment.
