The article discusses the issues related to the development of electromobility in Poland and its significance for the functioning of road transport. These are the elements that create a research niche, which also includes the spatial distribution of charging stations in Poland. The main research problem was formulated in the form of the following question: how did electromobility develop in Poland in the years 2019-2023 and what are the main determinants of this development? The aim of the research was therefore to assess the development of electromobility in Poland in the indicated period and to identify its main determinants. The authors put forward the following working hypothesis: the development of electromobility in Poland in 2019-2023 was limited, despite the increase in the number of electric vehicles and government regulatory support as well as the growing general interest in electromobility. The main determinant limiting this development is the spatial distribution of charging stations throughout the country. The innovativeness of the research lies in proving – based on theoretical research methods – that the use of electric vehicles is currently justified only in large cities with developed infrastructure, where almost half of all chargers in the country are located. The expansion plans for the charging infrastructure along the TEN-T network, according to the authors, may serve as a fundamental incentive for the increased importance of electric vehicles in car transportation.
