Abstract
Since the entry into force of the Paris Agreement in 2015, and with the publication of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report on the consequences of 1.5 degrees of global warming, the issue of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner and within the timeframe outlined has become a matter of urgency. The transport sector, which accounts for a quarter of total GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions in the 28 EU Member States, is no exception. Due to the serious environmental impacts of transport, new mobility concepts are being implemented at both national and international levels. One of these is the large-scale deployment of electric vehicles, including those powered exclusively by Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) batteries. They are quiet and virtually emission-free and, in terms of safety, have the feature that, in the event of an accident, they reduce the risk of detonating the vehicle and of burning or burning out the passengers. This article presents the current state of electromobility in Poland and Slovakia with an indication of light electric cars BEV and the most important factors stimulating its development.
Highlights
The framework established by the European Union in the field of climate and energy for 2030 sets targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the share of renewable energy by 20% and increasing energy efficiency by 20%
The Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) electric car market both in Poland and Slovakia is in the early stages of development, as evidenced by the small share of such vehicles in the automotive market and the lack of a sufficiently developed network of public charging points
An important factor in the intensification of e-mobility in Poland and Slovakia will be the proposed financial incentives, so that the purchase of an electric car will not deviate significantly from prices of similar models equipped by the conventional internal combustion engines
Summary
The framework established by the European Union in the field of climate and energy for 2030 sets targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide emissions by 20%), increasing the share of renewable energy by 20% and increasing energy efficiency by 20%. The manufacturers point out that with limited possibilities of modification of internal combustion engines, electric cars may be one of the ways to improve the local air quality and affect development of the dispersed renewable sources, lower dependence on the import of fossil fuels and, a higher level of energy security. These favorable features make battery-powered cars a serious candidate for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution from transport [12,13,14]. In Poland and Slovakia, paying special attention to M1 passenger cars of the BEV type
