Electric mobility plays a vital role in the transition towards a more sustainable society. Replacing fossil-fuel-powered vehicles with electric alternatives can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and other transport-related pollutants, improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.<\/p>\n
In line with climate agreements and the Sustainable Development Goals, the European Commission plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035 to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. While policies may vary between countries, and exceptions are being considered for e-fuel vehicles as per the most recent events<\/a>, the growing number of EV sales worldwide and the increasing pressure on car manufacturers to develop more efficient and environmentally-friendly vehicles are driving significant investment in EV technology.<\/p>\n Although EV adoption is increasing<\/a> globally, their adoption rates vary across countries and continents, reflecting different needs regarding energy and power systems, charging infrastructure, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) management strategies, and regulatory framework. In the literature, we can find that in 2021, global EV sales reached 6.6 million units (8.6% of market share), with China and Europe leading the market. Several public reports show that Europe alone accounted for 2.29 million EVs sold (17% of market share), about 65,400 EVs sold in Denmark, 29,000 in Portugal, 10,000 in Slovenia and 7,000 in Greece \u2013 countries where the EV4EU project activities are taking place.<\/p>\n The increasing number of EVs leads to an increase in public charging points and, consequently, an increase in electric energy consumption. But how will the scenario look when no petrol and diesel cars are allowed?<\/p>\n Several e-mobility scenarios up to 2050 are publicly available. While varying their strategies, the most optimistic ones foresee over 1,800 million EVs worldwide (90% of the global fleet), 330 million in Europe, 3.2 million in Denmark, 6.3 million in Portugal, and 1.5 million in Slovenia. However, for Greece, they predict that EVs will constitute less than 50% of total vehicles by 2050.<\/p>\n Together, these previsions highlight the need for a corresponding expansion of the charging infrastructure and an overall increase in electricity demand, reflecting the needs of each country. The massification of EVs also poses other challenges that require urgent action, including user adoption, V2X development, and battery technology.<\/p>\nEV adoption rates vary worldwide<\/h3>\n
