Analysis of infrastructure development in the European Union in the field of electromobility

The article focuses on electromobility issues and the necessary infrastructure development in the European Union. As the transport system has been described in the past as unsustainable and in many respects moving away from sustainability, the current trend is electromobility, which develops annually. In this context, the key knowledge is that, according to expert studies, in 2050 only a very small proportion of cars will be powered in the way we know it today, by means of a petrol or diesel engine. This statement also follows from the national strategies for the development of electric cars in individual states, which estimate the number of electric cars in the future. It is also very important to estimate and assess the state of the infrastructure for electric cars, which form charging stations designed for recharging the storage of electric energy, electric vehicle. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive approach and analyse the gradual development of infrastructure in the individual Member States of the European Union, which is one of the most important tools necessary for growth of electromobility. The authors of the article assess the current state of infrastructure for electric cars, based on the total number of charging stations in each Member State of the European Union and the average annual percentage change. These indicators, based on the European Union average, divide the Member States into categories which indicate the rate of infrastructure development, taking into account the number of electric vehicles in the Member State concerned. Efficiency is identified and the sequence of implementation into the road infrastructure.
