Trends, main economic determinants of the e-mobility in the EU: Additional evidence and verification

Abstract

The adoption of e-mobility in the countries of the European Union shows significant differences in terms of dynamics of electric car sales and in terms of differences in the share of electric cars in the total fleet of passenger cars in individual Member states. Despite the common European policy of transition to less emission-intensive car drives, the economic performance of countries, as well as other determinants, turn out to be the key drivers of differences in the sales and shares of electric cars on the car fleet within individual countries. In light of these findings, the paper contributes to the existing discussion and knowledge with additional recent findings and how intensive main consensual factors cause differences in the recent electric cars market shares in the EU countries.
