Strategie a investice do elektromobility v podmínkách České republiky

This thesis focuses on a comprehensive economic and environmental comparison of electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, with the aim of identifying the break-even point at which investment in an electric vehicle becomes a more advantageous option for individual users under the conditions of the Czech Republic. The analysis is based on a comparison of representatives from the mid-size SUV segment over a ten-year operational horizon. The evaluation includes calculations of Net Present Value (NPV), Payback Period (PP), cost curves, and price elasticity, taking into account both acquisition and operating costs, including home charging infrastructure. The emissions analysis covers both manufacturing and operational CO₂ emissions, calculated using the current Czech energy mix. The thesis also incorporates two usage scenarios (with different annual mileage and driving profiles) and considers factors such as climate conditions and driving style. The outcome of the study is the identification of the time frame in which an electric vehicle becomes the more favorable option in terms of both cost and emissions, along with recommendations on the operational and investment conditions under which electromobility can represent a realistic alternative to conventional drivetrains in the Czech context.
