Our company is receiving an additional 82 million zł. The funds should also be sufficient for conditional applications.

In short:

The application period for the NaszEauto program ended in April 2026.

For many applicants who submitted their requests after January 27, 2026, the program was not yet closed.

There is a chance this might change. The program’s budget is increasing from 1.18 to over 1.26 billion złoty.

The additional 82 million złoty will make a difference.

NaszEauto with extra funding

This is good news especially for those who submitted their applications after January 27, 2026. On that day, the program’s existing budget of 1,181,997,750 złoty was exhausted. However, the application period was not closed and continued until April 30. Applications submitted during this time were processed on a conditional basis—signing the contract and receiving the subsidy depended on whether additional funds would be allocated to the program.

It is now confirmed that these funds will be made available. The Ministry of Climate and Environment, together with NFOŚiGW, has decided to increase the budget by over 82 million zł. The total amount will thus exceed 1.26 billion zł.

According to the fund, this will enable financing for all applicants whose documents are positively assessed and meet the program requirements. Submitting an application alone still does not guarantee automatic approval of funding, but it will no longer be a problem due to a shortage of funds in the initial budget.

NaszEauto launched at the beginning of 2025

The NaszEauto program began on February 3, 2025, and replaced the previous subsidy system, Mój Elektryk. From its inception, its purpose has been to support the purchase, leasing, and long-term rental of new electric vehicles.

Initially, 1,613,777,750 zł was allocated to the program from funds under the National Reconstruction Plan. In its first version, support focused on M1 category electric passenger cars, with the main beneficiaries being individuals and those running sole proprietorships.

One of the most important conditions was a price limit for the car. It could not cost more than 225,000 zł net. The maximum subsidy amounted to 40,000 zł, but its amount depended on factors such as the financing method, the dismantling of an old gasoline vehicle, or — in the program’s initial phase — the applicant’s income.

The program included not only traditional purchases with cash or credit. Subsidies could also be used for leasing and long-term rental, which was particularly important for entrepreneurs.

The program was significantly restructured later

In 2025, the rules of NaszEauto were substantially changed. After the revision of the KPO, the budget was reduced from over 1.61 billion zł to exactly 1,181,997,750 zł, a decrease of more than 431 million zł.

At the same time, the scope of the program was expanded. Subsidies were no longer limited to electric passenger cars of category M1. Vehicles in category N1 as well as vehicles in category M2, such as small buses, were also included in the program.

The group of beneficiaries was also expanded. Organizations such as non-governmental organizations, national parks, and certain public institutions related to education, care, and healthcare could apply for the funds.

The maximum subsidy for passenger cars remained at 40,000 zł. For electric N1 vans, up to 70,000 zł could be obtained, while M2 vehicles were eligible for as much as 600,000 zł.

The structure of subsidies for passenger cars has also changed. For individual buyers, the basic subsidy amount at purchase increased to 30,000 zł, while holders of the Large Family Card could expect 35,000 zł. An additional bonus for scrapping a gasoline car allowed the total subsidy to reach up to 40,000 zł.

The fund was exhausted three months before the application period ended

At the beginning of 2026, interest in the program accelerated significantly. On January 7, NFOŚiGW reported over 31,500 applications with a total value exceeding 991 million zł. By January 15, the number rose to over 34,000, with the expected funding amount approaching 1.08 billion zł.

On January 26, the budget utilization reached 98%, and the available funds were officially exhausted the following day.

The fund decided not to close the application period, however. Additional applications were accepted on a conditional basis. They could be considered somewhat like a reserve list—they were evaluated, but signing contracts and subsequent disbursements depended on whether funds would ultimately be available in the budget.

This was also intended to protect the program from a situation where some of the allocated funds would go unused. NFOŚiGW had already pointed out that some forms might be withdrawn, rejected, or left unfinished, and there were also cases of empty applications and duplicate submissions.

The application period lasted until April 30

Although the Fund announced in January the possibility of closing the application period earlier, applications could ultimately be submitted until April 30, 2026.

Shortly after the program ended, NFOŚiGW reported over 41,000 funding applications totaling more than 1.3 billion zł. This represented approximately 110.4% of the budget available at that time.

The latest update mentions around 40,000 applications and over 37,000 signed contracts. The evaluation process is nearing completion. Information on the status of the documents and any necessary supplements is provided by the Grant Application Generator as well as to the email address given during document submission.

An additional 82 million zł to resolve the issue of conditional applications

It was the applications submitted after January 27 that posed the biggest uncertainty after the application period ended. Their applicants might have met all program requirements, yet they had no guarantee of receiving funds because they formally submitted their documents after the entire available budget was exhausted.

Raising the budget from 1.18 billion zł to over 1.26 billion zł is intended to solve this problem.

– Additional funds will enable financing for all applications that have received positive evaluations and meet the program’s requirements, while also supporting the development of the electric vehicle market and efforts to improve air quality more effectively – said Paweł Augustyn, vice president of NFOŚiGW.

This does not mean the resumption of NaszEauto. The application period has ended, and no new applications can be submitted. The additional funds are intended solely for processing documents that were submitted on time.

NaszEauto is now in its final stage

The program is funded by KPO funds, so its processing is subject to strictly defined deadlines. Support agreements can be signed until October 31, 2026, while disbursements must be completed by December 31, 2026.

This means that NaszEauto is now entering its final phase. For drivers waiting for their funds, however, the most important thing is the Fund’s declaration that, after increasing the budget, the available amount will be sufficient to cover all applications that have been positively assessed and meet the program’s requirements.

The history of the NaszEauto program is quite ironic. The program started with a budget of over 1.61 billion zł, was later reduced to 1.18 billion zł due to changes in KPO, and now, after that amount was exhausted, it has received an additional 82 million zł. Thus, the final budget will exceed 1.26 billion zł.
