Abstract:

The article presents the impact of the transformation towards electromobility and its associated challenges from the point of view of the future costs of developing infrastructure for electrotransport and from the point of view of the costs incurred by the end consumer. The article aims to provide a multi-directional discussion of the justification for the transformation in  ​​road transport in the aspect of striving to improve the quality of atmospheric air in Poland and the European Union countries. In addition, based on the research method, which is a study of literature and analysis of available source data, the impact of the transformation towards electromobility on reducing the emission of harmful greenhouse gases and particulate matter suspended in the air, through the introduction of low-emission electric vehicles (BEV), is presented. The operating costs of electric and combustion cars are also compared to support the justification for the implementation of sustainable electrotransport in Europe in the next decades, which is to lead to an improvement in the quality of life by reducing the incidence of civilization diseases caused by air pollution..
