Charging

GreenWay holds 20.5% of the fast charging market in Poland, while Lidl has 17.5%.

GreenWay holds 20.5% of the fast charging market in Poland, while Lidl has 17.5%.

According to F5A New Mobility Research and Consulting, as of the end of September 2026, GreenWay held 20.5% of the market share in publicly available DC charging stations. Lidl Polska was close behind at 17.5%, while Powerdot had 15.3%. GreenWay has announced plans to add over 20 new hubs with 400 kW chargers still this year.

Lidl gains ground, Powerdot loses

The dynamics are more important than the order of rankings. In the second quarter, GreenWay held 21% of the market, Lidl 16.4%, and Powerdot 16.1%. Three months later, the leader lost 0.5 percentage points, Lidl gained 1.1 percentage points, and Powerdot lost 0.8 percentage points.

GreenWay’s lead over Lidl narrowed to 3 percentage points. At the end of the first quarter, GreenWay held 20.5%, while Lidl and Powerdot each had 16.5%. The gap between first and third place is now 5.2 percentage points.

The rest of the list shows smaller shares:

Orlen Charge: 7.5%

Kaufland: 5.6%

Tesla and Moya Energia: 3.4% each

Elocity: 3.2%

Budimex Mobility: 1.8%

Polenergia: 1.7%

The highest growth in the third quarter, aside from Lidl, was recorded by Moya Energia (+1 percentage point). Tesla added 0.6 percentage points. When Lidl and Kaufland are combined, their share totals around 23.1%, more than that of the leader. Parking lots near stores are proving effective.

Over 13,900 charging points, half of which are DC

According to the Polish Association for New Mobility (PSNM), as of the end of September, there were 13,936 public charging points in Poland. Of these, 7,113 offered DC charging, accounting for 51%. By the end of March, there were 5,980 such points, meaning over 1,100 more were added in half a year.

GreenWay does not intend to give up its position easily. By the end of 2026, it plans to launch over 20 new ultra-fast charging hubs with a capacity of up to 400 kW. The company has released a map showing locations across the country, but without specific opening dates.

The operator focuses on larger hubs rather than individual chargers. On a route, not only power but also the number of vehicles that can be charged simultaneously matter. In the first half of 2026, GreenWay opened 81 of its own charging points with a total capacity of 10.4 MW. The number of locations increased by 9%, the number of points by 8%, and capacity by 11%. Previously, the company had announced a project to build 35 ultra-fast hubs and 253 new DC charging points with 400 kW capacity.

In AC charging, Orlen leads

In AC charging points, which are mainly used for longer stays, GreenWay is now in second place. As of the end of September, Orlen Charge had 13%, while GreenWay had 12.5%. Behind them are Elocity (8.3%), Eleport (6.2%), and Noxo (6.1%).

Even at the end of 2025, GreenWay led in AC charging. By the end of the first quarter of 2026, Orlen had 13.2% compared to GreenWay’s 13.1%, and after half a year, both operators had 12.9%. The third quarter widened the gap between them significantly.

Each of the major networks employs a different strategy. GreenWay builds its own hubs, Lidl and Kaufland use parking spaces near their stores, Powerdot targets commercial and service areas, Orlen operates gas stations, while Tesla opens Superchargers for cars of other brands.

Will 20 hubs with 400 kW each be enough for GreenWay to maintain its lead, especially since Lidl gains more than one percentage point per quarter?
