Abstract:
We live in a dynamic mobility transition phase that compliments the energy transition (Energiewende) towards abandoning fossil-based fuels. The future mobility eco system is “CASE” – connected, automated, shared, electric. In 2017 electric vehicles sales reached a tipping point and sales in Germany doubled. New models at reasonable prices are announced for the coming years and infrastructure is being installed to meet the demand putting electric mobility within reach for the masses. While the discussion about air quality in cities, traffic noise and Diesel bans is still all around and no solution at hand, the benefit of electric vehicles on the other hand is questioned. A holistic analysis of various studies on the eco-balance and CO2 footprint of EVs shows that already today every km driven electric has a positive impact on the climate. With the continuing energy and mobility transition individual mobility will be decarbonized sustainably. This will not be possible without electric powertrains.
