ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN ROAD TRANSPORT

Zaradi nenehnega in hitrega napredovanja tehnologije se na vseh področjih življenja dogajajo spremembe. Posledica hitro napredujoče tehnologije so tudi električna vozila, ki predstavljajo okolju prijaznejše avtomobile in pot k okolju prijaznejšemu sistemu cestnega prometa. Zanimanje za električna vozila tako kot v Evropi tudi v Sloveniji strmo narašča, zato se tudi proizvajalci električnih avtomobilov prilagajajo vse večjemu povpraševanju po električnih avtomobilih. Vendar potrošniki še niso v celoti sprejeli električnih vozil, na kar v največji meri vplivajo cena, pričakovana življenjska doba akumulatorja, stroški vzdrževanja in lastništva ter razpoložljivost polnilnih postaj. Vozila na električni pogon ključno prispevajo k vzpostavitvi sistema trajnostne mobilnosti in zmanjšujejo odvisnost od motorjev z notranjim izgorevanjem. Tako ima okrepljeno uveljavljanje električnih vozil pomembno vlogo pri prehodu v nizkoogljično družbo.Due to the constant and rapid advancement of technology, changes are taking place in all areas of life. The consequence of rapidly growing technology are also electric vehicles, which represent more environmentally friendly cars and a path to a more environmentally friendly road transport system. The interest in electric vehicles is growing sharply in Europe as well as in Slovenia, which is why electric car manufacturers are adapting to the growing demand for electric cars. However, consumers have not yet fully embraced electric vehicles, which are largely more expensive than petrol car, battery life expectancy, maintenance and ownership costs, and the availability of charging stations. Electric vehicles make a key contribution to the establishment of a sustainable mobility system and reduce dependence on internal combustion engines. The enhanced promotion of electric vehicles plays an important role in the transition to a low-carbon society
