Supporting development of electromobility in the Czech Republic

The diploma thesis focuses on the development of electromobility and charging infrastructure in the Czech Republic. Compared to other European Union countries, the adoption rate of electromobility in the Czech Republic is significantly slower. To overcome the barriers associated with the perception of electromobility and to accelerate the transition, various forms of support are seen as suitable transitional tools. The aim of the thesis is to propose specific forms of support to increase the adoption of electromobility, based on an analysis of the current vehicle fleet in the Czech Republic and an examination of supportive measures in other countries, both within and outside the European Union. The thesis also addresses the characteristics of the charging infrastructure and the potential for its development and readiness to accommodate an expected increase in electric vehicle users. Possible forms of support for private and business entities include direct financial subsidies, tax benefits, free vehicle scrapping, or low-emission zones. The thesis also highlights the importance of simplifying processes through more consistent digitization of local government and enhancing public awareness through targeted programs and campaigns. The proposed support is expected to boost confidence and interest in electromobility, aiming to fulfill the National Action Plan for Clean Mobility, alongside the environmental goals of the European Union to reach 40 million electric vehicles on European roads by 2030 and to completely phase out combustion engine vehicles by 2035.
