Implementation of the European Union Legal Framework for Electric Vehicles in Montenegro

Abstract

Transitioning to electric drive and using energy from renewable sources can help in the decarbonisation process globally. Wider usage of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure development depend on the legislative and regulatory framework. In this paper, we have analyzed the legal and regulatory framework for electromobility in the European Union. This analysis is conducted to propose adequate measures which should be implemented in Montenegro to accelerate electric vehicle adoption. Proposed measures must be in accordance with the current legislative and regulatory framework in the European Union. Additionally, a brief overview of current state in this area in Southeast Europe countries is conducted. We would like to initiate changes in Southeast European countries to make progress in this area.
