The spreading potential of electric powered vehicles in Hungary

Nowadays one of the most important social issues is to decrease the energy consumption and the environmental load of the transport sector. Although the efforts of the past decades resulted in considerable changes, the topic of the sustainable mobility comes into prominence in Hungary now. The aim of my paper is to examine the spread of the electric powered vehicles in Hungary. With the purpose of economical comparison, I make a TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) calculation in which I analyse the weight and the distribution of the total cost of ownership. With the help of my own model I demonstrate the spreading potential of the electric powered vehicles. I analyse the influencing factors of the possible spread, their effects and their expected consequences.
