Electric vehicles: a solution or a new problem?

V diplomskem delu smo predstavili pozitivne in negativne vidike pri masovnem uvajanju električnih vozil z analizo vseh procesov, ki nastopajo v življenjski dobi e-avtomobila. Prav tako smo predstavili problem baterij in razpoložljivost surovin, potrebnih za njihovo proizvodnjo v globalnem smislu ter okoljske probleme, ki jih intenzivno rudarjenje povzroča v regijah, kjer se surovine nahajajo. Opisali smo tudi obremenitve, ki bi nastale na distribucijskih omrežjih električne energije ob masovnem uvajanju e-vozil. V nalogi smo opredelili tudi različne pristope, ki jih uporabljajo države EU pri vzpodbujanju prehoda v e-mobilnost.In the diploma thesis we presented the positive and negative aspects of mass introduction of electric vehicles by analyzing all the processes that occur in the life of an electric car. We also presented the problem of batteries and the availability of raw materials needed for their production in a global sense, as well as the environmental problems caused by intensive mining in the regions where the raw materials are located. We also described the loads that would occur on the electricity distribution networks with the mass introduction of electric vehicles. It also identified various approaches used by EU countries in promoting the transition to e-mobility
