Abstract

Kako zabrinutost za okoliš i globalno zatopljenje rastu, električna vozila postaju sve češća pojava. Za razliku od tradicionalnih, benzinom ili dizelom pokretanih vozila, pokretana su električnim motorom, a električnu energiju dobivaju iz baterija ili gorivih ćelija. Glavna je prednost i motvacija pri razvoju električnih vozila smanjenje emisija. Osim navedenoga, ovakva vrsta
vozila koristi jeftinije gorivo i ima manje pokretnih dijelova što doprinosi dugotrajnosti. No, kako bi se električna vozila počela naširoko koristiti, potrebna je velika infrastruktura. To uključuje stanice za punjenje gdje im se nadopunjavaju baterije, ali i elektroenergetsku mrežu potrebnu u skladu s povećanjem potražnje za električnom energijom. U izgradnju su diljem
svijeta uključene i države i privatne tvrtke s ciljem poticanja ljudi da prijeđu na električna vozila. Još uvijek postoje neki izazovi poput velikih inicijalnih troškova proizvodnje te potrebe za jeftinijim i efikasnijim baterijama.

Abstract (english)

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming an increasingly popular choice for transportation as concerns about the environment and climate change continue to grow. Unlike traditional gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles, EVs are powered by electric motors and use electricity from batteries or fuel cells to run. One major advantage of EVs and the main reason for producing them
are their reduced emissions. In addition to the benefits for the environment, EVs run on fule that costs less and have fewer moving parts which is reflected in their longevity. To support the widespread adoption of EVs, a robust electric vehicle infrastructure is needed. This includes charging stations where EV owners can recharge their vehicles, as well as the
electricity grid infrastructure necessary to support the increased demand for electricity. Both governments and private companies are working to build out this infrastructure and make it more convenient for people to switch to EVs. However, there are still challenges to overcome, such as the high upfront cost of EVs and the need for more affordable and efficient batteries.
