Summary/Abstract: Social and economic transformations in the 21st century brought many new changes in the lifestyle of the inhabitants, in the system of social values and urban mobility. In recent years, the desire to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of urban areas was recognised by an increasing emphasis on environmental issues. For this reason, both national and European strategic documents indicating the direction of the development of public transport impose a number of restrictions on the negative impact of transport on the environment. One way of achieving ambitious targets in this area is to develop and popularize electromobility in cities. The article presents technical, economic, social and legal conditions of electromobility in Poland. Moreover, a review of good electromobility practices in public public transport was made and perspectives of further development of Polish cities in the aspect of electromobility were described and a SWOT analysis was made. The aim of the article is to identify factors, potential and limitations resulting from the implementation of electromobility in public public transport in Poland.
