Environmental and Health Benefits of Electromobility
Sanetrník, Michal ; Bendl, Jiří (advisor) ; Hůnová, Iva (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the health and environmental benefits of electromobility. The main objective of this thesis is to describe the current health and environmental risks of emissions from combustion engine vehicles and to determine whether electric vehicles eliminate these risks. The secondary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of current emission regulations in automotive transportation. The first part of this thesis describes the current state of air pollution, sources of pollution, exposure and health impacts on the population. The second part is dedicated to electric vehicles and vehicles with combustion engines, and compares their health and environmental impacts. The output of this thesis is that combustion engine vehicles contribute to more than four million premature deaths worldwide each year, accelerate global climate change, damage the ozone layer, contribute to acidification, eutrophication, and negatively affect vegetation and pollinators. For these reasons, it is necessary to switch to a health and environmentally friendly alternative. Battery electric vehicles appear to be a suitable replacement in all areas covered by this thesis, especially if their implementation is accompanied by a transition to renewable sources. Keywords air polution, emissions, premature...

Evaluation of possibility of modifying selected part of public lighting network for EV charging
Hýsek, David ; Vrána, Michal (referee) ; Baxant, Petr (advisor)
The master thesis deals with the concept of smart cities in the context of motivation for the use of the synergy of public lighting network and charging points. The thesis provides an overview of projects from the Czech Republic and abroad focusing on the adaptation of the urban public lighting network for charging electric vehicles. Different variants of charging station installations and their management are discussed. Another important topic is the selection of a suitable location for charging stations and the concept of synergistic connection of these stations with the existing public lighting network. The thesis proposes scenarios for using the existing public lighting network for charging electric vehicles and scenarios for bringing a parallel cable to this network in selected Brno locations. The aim is to optimize the efficiency and performance of the public lighting network and at the same time provide a charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The results of the thesis represent a valuable contribution to urban planning and the development of smart cities that focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility. The synergy between the public lighting network and charging points represents a potential for efficient use of infrastructure in the urban environment while contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Problematika rozvoje elektricky poháněných vozidel kategorie M1 v České republice
KLÍMA, Denis
In the order of the last few decades with internal combustion engines dominating the passenger transport sector, the electric car now appears to be on the verge of a rapid rise in both developed and emerging automotive markets. The broad application of the electric vehicle could bring about significant changes for society, not only in terms of the technologies we use for passenger transport, but also move our economy away from oil and attempt an environmental footprint in the transport industry by reducing emissions. This work is mainly concerned with electric mobility, its development, but also its issue of development in the Czech Republic, as well as charging infrastructure and its near future for electric mobility. The potential for an electric vehicle will be limited without paying sufficient attention to standards, not only in terms of the speed of its adoption and the fluency of this transition, but also in terms of maintaining compatibility between professional powers, public safety and helping to ensure eco-bikes.

Transition to emission-free personal transportation in the Czech Republic
Kessler, Daniel ; Ščasný, Milan (advisor) ; Kmeťková, Diana (referee)
What is the future of electric vehicles? Road transportation significantly con- tributes to undesired emissions which can cause health issues and environmen- tal damage. Replacing conventional vehicles with electric vehicles can be an adequate solution. This thesis aims to forecast the level of adoption of elec- tric passenger vehicles in the Czech Republic until 2050, using monthly vehicle registry data from 2009 to 2022. Using the Bass diffusion model, we estimate innovation and imitation parameters to forecast (the first) incremental and cu- mulative adoption of battery electric and, partly, of plug-in hybrid vehicles, until 2050. We rely on an exogenously pre-defined passenger vehicle fleet since the approach based on endogenously determined stock fails to provide a cred- ible forecast. Due to the low adoption rate of battery electric vehicles before 2016, we examine how using more recent data or calibration of the innovation parameter may improve the forecasting model. We also model the replacements of battery electric vehicles after their retirement to derive a total number of new registrations. Additional forecasts are performed for different fleet sizes and retirement ages. We have found that the calibration-based forecast pro- vides a larger share of battery electric vehicles until 2030...

The Impact of Incentives on Electric Vehicle Sales in the European Union
Tláskalová, Andrea ; Polák, Petr (advisor) ; Havránková, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of electric vehicle incentives and investigates their impact on the uptake of electric vehicles within and beyond the European Union over the period of 2010 to 2019. Depending on the kind of benefit they provide and their timing, the incentives are divided into one-time monetary, recurring monetary, and non-monetary incentives. To properly evaluate the effect of incentives, a fixed effects and difference-in-differences methods are employed, allowing us to control for unobserved factors affecting the electric vehicle market. A fixed effects analysis revealed a significant positive effect of one-time monetary incentives on battery electric vehicle sales, and a significant positive effect of both one-time and recurring monetary incentives on plug-in hybrid electric vehicle sales. Additionally, when considering the effect of individual incentives, the most important ones were found to be rebate and point-of-sale tax incentive. A difference-in-differences analysis confirmed a statistically significant effect of rebate on the sale of battery electric vehicles.

EV smart charging and BESS in increasing the PV hosting capacity of distribution networks
Filip, Robin ; Lehtonen, Matti (referee) ; Paar, Martin (advisor)
Diplomová práce se zabývá dopadem nabíjení elektrických vozidel a bateriových úložišť na schopnost distribučních sítí nízkého napětí absorbovat fotovoltaické systémy. Převážně venkovské, příměstské a převážně městské regiony s různými stupni penetrace nekontrolovaně i kontrolovaně nabíjených elektromobilů jsou analyzovány Monte Carlo simulacemi. Hostingová kapacita je také analyzována, jestliže jsou elektrická vozidla jak nahrazena, tak doplněna domácími bateriovými úložišti. Práce je zakončena krátkou analýzou využitelnosti BESS.
