Abstract

Purpose is a comprehensive study of the development of electric cars and related infrastructure for the period from 2010 to 2022 in Ukraine through the prism of global experience. The article studies the current state of development of electric vehicles in Ukraine in the transition from cars with internal combustion engines to electric vehicles. Electric cars in Ukraine are becoming increasingly popular. In terms of growth in sales of electric vehicles, Ukraine is ahead of such developed automotive countries as the United States and Japan. A study of the impact of electric vehicles on the development of related infrastructure in Ukraine has shown that the effective development of electric vehicles in Ukraine requires the creation of a special system for full-scale operation. This process involves car manufacturers, dealers, specialized service stations, manufacturers and installers of charging stations, government and financial institutions that provide additional benefits to owners of electric vehicles, as well as energy companies and battery recycling companies. The issues of ensuring the necessary capacity of electricity supply networks need to be further considered, taking into account the need to create a powerful network of charging stations for electric vehicles. Trends in the development of electric cars show that electric cars not only change the environment, but also create a new ecosystem, form economic models for the future of Ukraine.
