Abstract
The question of electromobility is greatly discussed theme of the present especially in connection with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to fulfill decarbonization targets, incentives of many countries lead to the support of electromobility. In this paper we ask to which extend are Visegrád Group countries prepared for the widespread utilization of electric cars and define a new coefficient K called the infrastructural country electromobility coefficient. Its computing is covered by appropriate analysis and calculations done previously. Several indices that keep particular information about the state of preparation for electromobility are defined and debated here, as well. Their product forms the coefficient K. Obtained results include outcomes and discussion regarding the level of infrastructural electromobility preparedness for the chosen states, among which we extra focus on the position of Slovakia compared to the European Union average and European electromobility leaders. Based on the data obtained, we found out that the stage of preparation of Slovakia for electromobility among Visegrad Group countries is rather good, although it is far behind the European Union leaders. We realized that there was a rapid growth of electromobility infrastructure in Slovak Republic in the last five years as its infrastructural country electromobility coefficient grew 334 times.
Highlights
The European decarbonization targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around20% with respect to 2008 levels until 2030 impose significant economical, social and technological challenges in which electromobility plays a key role [1]
The results show that trust and external incentives are the main factors when buying a battery electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle
In order to obtain required information we have studied and cross-country compared several relevant parameters such as the total number of cars, battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) registered in country and its recomputation for 1000 inhabitants of the country, the total number of charging stations, its recomputation for 1 registered plug-in electromobile, its recomputation for the area of the country, and its recomputation for 1000 inhabitants of the country, the yearly percentage growth of associated infrastructure and so on
Summary
The European decarbonization targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around20% with respect to 2008 levels until 2030 impose significant economical, social and technological challenges in which electromobility plays a key role [1]. The European decarbonization targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around. Over 71% of the transportrelated CO2 emissions in Europe come from road transport while the majority of greenhouse gas emissions is associated with cars. The aim is to reduce, if not to forbid, the utilization of conventionally fueled vehicles in cities until 2050 [1]. Electric vehicles do not cause the local pollution. The widespread use of electric cars instead of conventionally fueled ones will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions as well as environmental impacts from transport. The electromobility topic is super highly up to date. This is evidenced by a number of scientific studies that have been published in recent years
