The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management of Poland (NFOŚiGW) announced on March 31, 2025, two new public calls for funding the development of zero-emission vehicle infrastructure. The total budget amounts to PLN 2 billion (approximately €440 million), with funding provided by the European Union’s Modernisation Fund. These initiatives are part of a broader strategy to align with the European Regulation on Alternative Fuels Infrastructure (AFIR).
The first call focuses on the construction or expansion of the power grid necessary for the operation of fast-charging stations. It is intended for distribution system operators, who may apply for non-repayable grants covering up to 100 percent of eligible investment costs. The program aims to enable electrification at key points in the logistics and transportation network, with the planned development of at least 50 power supply locations across the country. Delivery power will depend on the type of location: 3,600 kW for rest areas along the core TEN-T network, 1,500 kW for facilities on the extended core or comprehensive TEN-T network, and 350 kW for logistics centers, depots, and intermodal terminals.
Applications for this call will remain open until December 31, 2025, with a budget of PLN 1 billion allocated for this phase.

The second call is aimed at the construction or expansion of publicly accessible charging stations for electric trucks and is open to entrepreneurs. The goal is to build a total of 550 stations, directly supporting the development of zero-emission heavy transport. Funding may cover up to 100 percent of eligible costs for standard projects, while more complex investment models may receive up to 85 percent. The stations will be located along roadways forming the backbone of the TEN-T network, as well as in close proximity to logistics centers, operational bases, and terminals.
The application deadline for this initiative is August 31, 2025, with an additional PLN 1 billion allocated.
These measures build upon existing programs, such as “NaszEauto,” launched on February 3, 2025. Funded by the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) with a budget of PLN 1.6 billion (approximately €352 million), this program is intended for individuals and entrepreneurs seeking to purchase new electric passenger vehicles of category M1. Within the first five weeks of the program’s implementation, 1,326 applications were submitted, totaling PLN 38.9 million, indicating growing public interest in sustainable mobility.
