Conditions for the sustainable development of electromobility in the European Union road transport from the perspective of the European Green Deal

The article concerns the analysis of trends and policies supporting the development of zero-emission mobility, in accordance with the assumptions of the European Green Deal. The aim of the study is to identify and assess the essential factors determining the level of sustainability of the electromobility system in relation to individual car transport in the European Union. he article reviews strategies for the development of climate-neutral mobility as outlined in strategic documents, the European Green Deal and the “Fit for 55” package. The current state of development of the electric vehicle market and charging infrastructure is shown, which implies a number of challenges in the pursuit of emission-free mobility. A review of the literature on the subject and the results of the expert analysis confirmed the importance of national and regional policies in the uptake of electric vehicles. Taking active measures to increase the level of sustainability of the electromobility system should first focus on the further development of charging infrastructure, the creation of an EV battery value chain and the uptake of cars. The main expectations for the development of electromobility are to reduce CO2 emissions, reduce dependence on the supply of fossil fuels, increase the competitiveness and innovation of the economy, and reduce the social costs generated by transportation.
