Electromobility Poland, a state-backed company that recently showcased the Izera, the country’s first electric car, will have a mountain to climb before getting its product to customers in what's turning into a very competitive — and very expensive — global race.
Poland’s government, led by the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, has a knack for mooting spectacular plans for technological or infrastructural great leaps forward — ranging from cutting a new passage to the Baltic Sea to building a vast new ferry in the country's dilapidated shipyards to opening one of the Continent's largest airports in central Poland.
All of those schemes were launched with massive fanfare, but quickly ran into financial, logistical and other problems. The e-car is no different.
“There will be 1 million electric cars on Polish roads by 2025,” Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced in 2016. And he didn't want those cars to be built by foreign companies. "Are we able to leap and surf on this fourth wave of the economic revolution which is before us? This is our moment, this is our time."
