Analysis of Innovative Electromobility Development and the Advancement of Eco-Friendly Transport Infrastructure

Fuel combustion products cause considerable damage to the environment and human health. Therefore, it is necessary to switch to environmentally friendly vehicles. This study analyzed the dynamics of the number of cars and trucks with electric and hybrid engines, predicted their number at the current rate of change in their number, and the degree of provision and potential need for charging points in European countries. According to the results obtained, 73% of the territory of the European Union has a provision of charging points below the average level. This emphasizes the need to change the approach to structuring infrastructure upgrades by systematizing the process of creating new charging points. A mathematical model was created using the least-squares method to predict the number of vehicles with environmentally friendly engines over the next three years. The predicted number of such cars in the EU in 2026 is 12.5 million, which requires an increase in the number of charging points by 2.7 times compared to the existing ones. Under such conditions, it will be possible to reduce atmospheric emissions by 120 million tons by 2024, 160 million tons by 2025, and more than 200 million tons annually by 2026. The rapid growth of charging stations will lead to an increase in the electricity demand, which, in turn, will become an impetus for a sharp increase in electricity production by alternative sources. With the timely adaptation of infrastructure to the growing needs associated with environmentally friendly transport, achieving the maximum positive effect from these innovations is possible.
