Slovak Groups Urge Government to Boost Electric Vehicle Sector
On February 8, a collective appeal was made to the Slovak government by various organisations, urging it to promote the development of the electric automobile sector. The appeal comes as the country's electric vehicle market share lags behind the European average.
The signatories, including Patrik Krizansky from SEVA, Alexander Matusek from ZAP SR, and Alexej Beljajev from APZD, along with delegates from several Chambers of Commerce, called for state authorities to take legislative actions to incentivize the industry's growth. They also urged the acceleration of programs in the Action Plan for the Development of Electromobility, which was modified in mid-2023.
Local authorities have already allocated 50 million euros to expand public charging points, aiming to add at least 3,000 new units by the end of 2026. However, the sector risks not utilizing 300 million euros from the Recovery and Resilience Plan funds allocated to EU countries.
With only three per cent market share, Slovakia aims to increase its electric vehicle registrations significantly. SEVA projects the registration growth rate to accelerate to ten per cent by 2025 and up to 39 per cent by 2030. The government's response to the public appeal is awaited to drive this growth and ensure the country benefits from the allocated EU funds.
