Benefit Analysis of the Utilisation of Electric Cars on the Example of ProCredit Bank Serbia’s Car Fleet

Abstract

This paper provides an example of use of the electric vehicle (EV) Volkswagen E-UP, which be-longs to ProCredit Bank’s car fleet. The aim of this paper is to stress the ecological advantages of the use of the contemporary EV in comparison with conventional diesel vehicles. In this regard, a com-parative overview of the emissions of Green House Gases, based on a practical example of the paral-lel use of EV and diesel vehicles, is given. Also given is an example of the use of a charger for EV with nominal power of 22 kW which uses solar panels with the power of 4.5 kW as a source of energy. Fi-nally, economic benefits are presented, as well as recommendations for the implementation of addi-tional incentivising measures on the macro level, which could further accelerate the demand for this type of transportation on the Republic of Serbia’s market.
