Abstract

Nowadays, everybody talk about Electromobility as something revolutionary but distant. Over recent years there has been a given social awareness about global warming due to greenhouse gases. People are aware of the need of changing in order to the current situation does not harm future generations. This has resulted in policies and laws at national and European level, in addition to global agreements like the Kyoto protocol, and more recently the Copenhagen summit. In particular, in Europe, we find an increase in taxes on more polluting vehicles, restrictions on CO2 emissions of new production vehicles, subsidies for vehicles with environmentally friendly, and integration plans for electrovehicles. Electric cars enjoyed popularity between the mid-19th century and early 20th century, when electricity was one of the preferred methods for running cars.
