Abstract

Society and the government perceive alternative propulsions as a way out of a world of high emissions. For several years now, European countries have been trying to enforce various strategic plans in which they give maximum support to electromobility. Subsidies and emission limits for car manufacturers or strategic plans for the development of electromobility in each European country are only a small part of the enormous support for the development of this new alternative drive. However, questions arise in the energy and ecology sectors: Is Slovakia ready to increase the number of electric vehicles? Will Slovakia have enough energy sources? Are electric cars really as clean as they are presented? The article focuses on these issues and, through detailed analysis, based on individual annual reports of each sector, refutes or confirms the fact that electromobility is a promising alternative and a replacement for internal combustion engines.

Highlights

  • The Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic perceives an ever-increasing trend and consumer preferences tending to gradually shift from the use and consumption of traditional fossil fuels to alternative and sustainable energy sources

  • Sci. 2020, 10, 8945 increasing, and so this study focuses on analysis and comparison of electric drives with internal combustion engines order toand confirm or refuteofthe claim drives that electric vehicles (EVs) is the way out of high emissions

  • The aim of this study was to determine the possible impact of the expected future development of electromobility on the energy industry and the ecological situation

Summary

Introduction

The Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic perceives an ever-increasing trend and consumer preferences tending to gradually shift from the use and consumption of traditional fossil fuels to alternative and sustainable energy sources. This trend is becoming more pronounced in the field of transport, so it is essential that the planning of national as well as transnational initiatives, research and investment considers current and future needs in this area. Sci. 2020, 10, 8945 increasing, and so this study focuses on analysis and comparison of electric drives with internal combustion engines order toand confirm or refuteofthe claim drives that EVs is the way out of high emissions.
