  • small number of charging stations – an electric car charging station is needed to refill the battery. Such points can be found in some shopping centers, gas stations and parking lots. However, there are still quite few of them, which causes problems with recharging the battery while driving,
  • high price – electric cars are still more expensive than combustion cars. The cheapest models can be purchased for PLN 100,
