A Comprehensive Review of the Distinctive Tendencies of the Diffusion of E-Mobility in Central Europe

The study introduces the current situation of electric vehicle technologies, possibilities and possible directions their market, as well economic environmental aspects in eastern region EU, with special regard to Hungary. Our calculations show that despite higher costs ownership, case 7 years use (among Hungarian conditions), total cost Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) is lower than Internal Combustion Engine (ICEV) each four segments analysed. purchasing power population regions EU clearly compared western regions, yet people this spend beyond financial means on motorization. Despite its unfavourable position, Hungary a particularly advantageous position other countries per capita terms spread BEVs. In long run, even taking prices into account, cars, general, has significant advantages from an point view; maintenance fuel (especially increased use) make EVs more cost-effective overall.
