Framework for Electromobility in the Slovak Republic and Its Application at the Local Level

Abstract

The article deals with conditions for the development of electromobility in the Slovak Republic at the national level and at the level of municipalities. The framework at the national level is analysed, consisting of a set of strategic documents adopted at the level of government resolutions, some of which are devoted more generally to alternative fuels. The strength of the documents varies, from the material referred as a recommended one, through the material required by the European Commission to an action plan with defined measures. The second part outlines a possible approach of a municipality to a changing framework at the national level. Experiences are presented as municipalities have grasped the issue of electromobility in their documents and an example of good practice where the whole national framework was taken into account comprehensively. Possibilities to improve the readiness of municipalities for challenges related to the conceptual solution of electromobility at the level of municipalities were identified.

Diversification of policies for the development of electric public transport in the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia

“…Pro-ecological solutions related to the use of low-emission and zero-emission vehicles are promoted by the European Union, whose transport policy expects a complete departure from vehicles powered by fossil fuels (Burchart-Korol et al, 2020;Cansino et al, 2018). Adaptation to the EU policy is implemented at the central level in all the analysed countries (Daňo, 2018;Hrudkay, Jaroš, 2020;Knapčíková, 2019). Reduction of emissions of CO 2 and of other pollutants into the environment is crucial (Tucki et al, 2019).…”
