Technical, ecological, and market analysis of the transition towards the electric vehicle

Abstract

New European policies for the elimination of greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector suggest that the complete replacement of the current car fleet with pure electric vehicles is imminent in the coming years. This paper analyses the different alternatives for electric vehicles, the road that has already been travelled for this transformation, the advantages and disadvantages of each of the different alternatives that exist today at a technical level in order to be able to glimpse the projection of these vehicles, which are a growing trend nowadays. On an ecological level, the aim is to understand whether they are really an effective alternative today and the improvements and investment necessary to achieve the objectives set by the institutions for the reduction of greenhouse gases. The impact on the economy and the lives of EU citizens is undeniable given the importance of the sector in Europe, and therefore the rapid and effective adaptation of industry and citizens will be key to a successful transformation at all levels
