Agent-Based Analysis of Market Potential for Electric Vehicles in the Czech Republic
Wojnarová, Renáta ; Kukačka, Jiří (advisor) ; Chorna, Olena (referee)
This study explores the economical, ecological, and social impact of poten- tial rise of the number of electric vehicles in the Czech Republic. For this purpose, the methodology of agent-based modelling and cost-benefit analysis is used. Particularly, a simple agent-based model in the NetLogo software is created and calibrated to the Czech environment. It enables us to examine the impact of possible policies aimed at increasing electric vehicles' market potential. Results of the cost-benefit analysis suggest that under the current Czech conditions, over their whole life cycle, electric vehicles produce less CO2 emissions in comparison to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles and thus, are more ecological. With the actual policy without any financial incentives, however, electric vehicles' total costs connected to their purchase, usage and maintenance for an average Czech consumer are still higher com- pared to conventional vehicles. If the government would intend to signific- antly increase electric vehicles' market share, both financial incentives and policies making their everyday usage easier are suggested to be implemented. Purchase discounts together with accessibility advantages are, according to this analysis, the most effective ways. Charging infrastructure development and electricity...

Electromobility – market and potential in Czech Republic
Krausová, Liliana ; Pešek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Březina, Martin (referee)
This master thesis deals with electromobility - market and potential in Czech Republic. The objective is to evaluate the situation and development of electromobility in Czech Republic via qualitative and quantitative research. That includes potential customers as well as owners of electric cars, operators of charging points, distributors of electricity, car manufactures and ministries. The basis is the comparison with leading countries in electromobility, including sales of electric cars, infrastructure and state incentives. The thesis consists of two parts. The theoretical part introduces innovations and challenges in electromobility and key factors of its success. The second part is analyzing details about individual countries empirically and via personal interviews with experts. Finally a complete overview of reasons and barriers for buying an electric car are presented together with building charging stations, a SWOT for electric cars, its infrastructure and timeline of perspective for the development of electromobility in the Czech Republic until 2030 with a recommendation of target groups for Porsche Česká republika, s.r.o.. It was found, that the situation of electromobility in Czech Republic is satisfactory and that the price is the main motive (cost savings) and barrier (price of the car) for the short-term growth. Electromobility will be developing in Czech Republic and has a great potential.

Willingness to pay for electricity-driven passenger vehicles
Horváthová, Inés ; Ščasný, Milan (advisor) ; Kukačka, Jiří (referee)
This thesis analyses stated preferences for 4 different types of passenger ve- hicles (conventional, hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid, and battery electric vehi- cles). The discrete choice experiment survey was conducted in Poland in 2014. With the use of latent class model it was possible to identify and describe dis- tinct segments in the population with varying preferences for the propulsion technologies: groups with strong and weak preferences for conventional vehi- cles, segments preferring pure hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and a class in favour of battery electric vehicles. Even though it was found that on average consumers would require compensation up to 22,200zł (e5,311) to switch to using an electric vehicle, respective segments in the population would be willing to pay around 10,100zł (e2,417) for this change in case of pure hy- brid, around 21,400zł (e5,128) in case of plug-in hybrid, and around 92,800zł (e22,199) in case of battery electric vehicles.

Vliv nových technologií v energetice na domácnosti
Novák, Dominik ; Strouhal, Jiří (advisor) ; Žádník, Josef (referee)
This masters thesis aims to assess and evaluate the potential of home based energy storage systems for the final user. In theoretical part it therefore describes the historical development of the European power sector with the purpose of determining, what was the impact of this development on products offered by energy providers to the final consumers of electricity. Findings from this analysis are then used to design a model, which is introduced and described in the practical part of the masters thesis. This model is afterwards used to assess the profitability of home batteries implementation by three different types of households and also to determine, what are the key drivers and constraints for the adoption of energy storage systems by households.

Economic Aspects of the Operation of Electric Vehicles - Case Study
Rodáková, Silvia ; Syrovátka, Oldřich (advisor) ; Král, Pavel (referee)
The bachelor thesis is dealing with the matter of electromobility. From the basic rules of how the electromobiles work, advantages and disadvantages, oportunities on the market, government support and perspectives for the future the thesis provides a concrete case study. The motiv for this case study is a considerable difference of the purchase price and costs for maintenance between an electromobile and a car with combustion engine. This case study consists of two sections. In the first part I compare both vehicles from a perspective of an user while the second part focuses on an energetic utility company. I used the basic economic aspects such as Rentability of an Investment, Net Present Value, Cash Flow or Break Even Point.

Economic and Environmental Analysis of using electromobility in the Czech Republic
Sikyta, Adam ; Slavík, Jan (advisor) ; Louda, Jiří (referee)
This Diploma thesis deals with utilization of electric driven cars in Czech Republic. There are two cardinal aspects of this research. Firstly I would like to give an answer if expansion of electric driven cars could help Czech Republic with greenhouse gas emission reduction. This goal will be achieved by quantitative analysis when four different scenarios of electric driven cars expansion will be calculated. Result of this analysis will be affected by several significant aspects. The most important aspect is structure of Czech energy mix which influences environmental friendliness of using electric driven car. Outcome of this analysis will tell us if we should support electric driven cars expansion in Czech Republic. Finally Diploma thesis proves that it is possible to use electric driven vehicles as a tool for greenhouse gas emission reduction in Czech conditions. Second important aspect related with electromobility is the financial competitiveness to combustion engine driven car. In this case the goal of analysis will be set as comparative analysis of lifecycle costs. Social external costs (as greenhouse gas emissions) will be included to the analysis as well. Result of this analysis tells us what type of power drive in passenger car is financially preferable.
