“…In the second part of the paper consumer preferences (crucial factors for purchasing LEV) and segmentation of consumers data obtained by the pre-structured questionnaire from Borthwick and Carreno [11] modified and distributed in Slovenia were used to indicate that promotional policies must focus on the most susceptible segments of consumers to be the most successful [8]. It must also address only relevant financial and non-financial factors because differences can occur in importance of factors in different geographical or cultural areas; therefore relevant financial and non-financial factors for Slovenian consumers were studied.…”

“…To reduce fossil fuel dependency and transport related environmental impacts effective policy measures such as reduced use of personal transportation, promotion of cycling, walking and public transport must be developed and implemented [6]. However, because of current life style, western standard of living and related independence of traveling with personal vehicle [7] promotion of environmentally sound alternatives such as Low Emission Vehicles (LEV) (vehicles on LPG, CNG, biofuels, electric vehicles and hybrids) is crucial [8] as well as smart grid implementation and reduction of peak energy use. This can be done with charging electric vehicles during the night as well as by heating houses at night as proposed by Babak et al [9].…”

Recently different studies of green transport have become interesting for policy makers, car manufacturers, customers and energy suppliers. Many stakeholders from the public and private sectors are investing a lot of effort to identify consumer behaviour for future improvements in development of green products and effective strategies, which could accelerate the transition to sustainable future. This paper presents the effects of electric vehicle promotional policies and customer preferences about alternative fuel vehicles. This study has shown that the electric vehicle promotional policies adopted in Slovenia have been unsuccessful, as the share of first-time registered electric vehicles in 2013 was below 1%. For different segments of people whose opinions about low emission vehicles differ, different measures must be adopted. When designing promotional policies focus must be on the most relevant factors such as the total vehicle price and fuel economy.

“…This compares quite favourably with the present cost of 14.74€ cents/kWh for fossil-nuclear fuel electricity that is available in Celje. ОЧЕНЬ ВАЖНО) [10] One of the important finding of this study also involves the strength of the relationships between gender and willingness to consider green products. Different studies, as well as the results of this study, reveal that there is no single measure that would dramatically increase the demand for LEVs.…”

Summary. Authorities in Slovenia and other EU member states are confronted with problems of city transportation. Fossil-fuel based transport poses two chief problemslocal and global pollution, and dwindling supplies and ever increasing costs. An elegant solution is to gradually replace the present automobile fleet with low emission vehicles. This article first explores the economics and practical viability of the provision of solar electricity for the charging of electric vehicles by installation of economical available PV modules and secondly the customer preferences and opinions about alternative low emission vehicles. Present estimates indicate that for the prevailing solar climate of Celje -a medium-sized Slovenian town -the cost would be only 2.11€ cents/kWh of generated solar electricity. Other results have also revealed that the most relevant factor for purchasing low emission vehicle is total vehicle price.ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ТРАНСПОРТА НА СОЛНЕЧНОЙ ЭНЕРГИИ, ПРЕДПОЧТЕНИЯ КЛИЕНТОВ И МНЕНИЯ О СРЕДСТВАХ ТРАНСПОРТА НА АЛЬТЕРНАТИВНОМ ТОПЛИВЕ -ПРИМЕР СЛОВЕНИИ Аннотация. Власти Словении и других стран-членов ЕС сталкиваются с проблемами городского транспорта. Транспорт работающий на основе ископаемых видов топлива представляет две главные проблемы -локальное и глобальное загрязнение, сокращающиеся поставки и постоянно растущие расходы. Хорошим решением является постепенная замена существующего автомобильного парка на транспортные средства с низким уровнем выбросов. Эта статья впервые исследует экономику и практическую жизнеспособность использования солнечной электроэнергии для зарядки электрических транспортных средств путем установки экономичных доступных PV модулей и, во-вторых, предпочтений заказчиков и мнений об альтернативных транспортных средствах с низким уровнем выбросов. Современные оценки показывают, что для имеющего в основном солнечный климат, Целье -среднего размера города Словении -цена будет только 2.11 евроцентов / кВт-ч выработанной солнечной электроэнергии. Другие результаты также показали, что наиболее важным фактором при покупке транспортного средства со сниженным уровнем вредных выбросов является его полная стоимость.

“…To calculate the total energy, first it is necessary to calculate the forces needed to overcome the driving resistances that act on the vehicle and the energy required for acceleration of the vehicle, steady vehicle driving and braking of the vehicle [12,13].…”
