EU Alternative-Fuel Observatory update shows Czech EV fleet tops 100,000

EU Alternative-Fuel Observatory update shows Czech EV fleet tops 100,000
Fresh statistics published on 18 November by the European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO) reveal that Czechia’s stock of battery-electric and plug-in-hybrid cars and vans passed the six-figure mark in Q3 2025, reaching 102,400 registered vehicles. The data make Czechia one of only 13 EU member states with fully updated figures through September and confirm a 28 % year-on-year jump in electric-vehicle (EV) registrations.

Behind the headline number is a structural shift in corporate mobility. Lease-fleet operators report that two-thirds of new orders from multinational companies now specify zero-emission vehicles, driven partly by company-car tax incentives introduced in July and by Prague’s Low-Emission Zone due to start in January 2026. Several global tech firms with Prague development centres have already replaced petrol pool cars with VW ID.4s and Škoda Enyaqs, citing employee demand and ESG targets.

Infrastructure is racing to keep pace. EAFO’s infrastructure dashboard records 4,280 public AC charge points and 610 DC fast chargers nationwide, with the highest density along the D1 and D5 motorways that link Prague to Brno and to Germany. Airports and business-park landlords have also accelerated roll-outs; Václav Havel Airport now offers 120 parking spots with 22-kW chargers, up from 40 a year ago.

Why does this matter for global mobility managers? First, company-car catalogues will need rapid updates as manufacturers phase out combustion models. Second, travel-policy per-diems should account for charging-time buffers on inter-city trips. Third, relocation packages increasingly include home-charger installation for senior expatriates, a cost that averaged CZK 38,000 (€1,550) in 2025.

EAFO will publish the next data set on 15 December, covering October–November registrations. Fleet managers planning 2026 orders should watch for possible changes to Czechia’s EV-purchase subsidy, which the Environment Ministry is expected to tweak in January to encourage light-commercial vehicles.
