eMobilita v Latinské Americe

eMobility is one of the most important automotive trends in the 21st century. The rediscovered interest in electric mobility stems primarily from concerns about the impacts of climate change, which is strongly influenced by emissions from the transport sector. As a consequence of number of factors affecting the deployment of electric cars, electric car sales are not evenly distributed across the globe. Some of these factors act as barriers, while others on the other hand support the adoption of electric vehicles. Based on these factors several general preconditions for mass electric vehicle adoption can be established. Latin America is not at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution, but thanks to its unique characteristics it’s one of the few regions where electromobility can truly live up to its commitment to clean and sustainable mobility. The aim of the diploma thesis is to identify the barriers and potential of Latin America for the mass development of electromobility. In order to fulfill this goal, first the individual general factors influencing the adoption of electromobility are analyzed, on the basis of which certain preconditions for its mass development are determined. Finally, based on these preconditions an analysis of selected Latin American countries – Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia, is carried out and individual strengths and weaknesses of Latin America are identified.
