In a world where energy supply security and environmental protection are major concerns, the development of green vehicles is becoming a necessity. The Electric vehicle (EV) is one of the most promising technologies that will make the "green dream" come true. This paper is a contemporary business case that encourages the immediate deployment of urban EVs. It proposes a model in which we can profit from the benefits of urban EVs namely, high energy efficiency, emissions reduction, small size and noise reduction. The model mitigates the EV potential limitations such as energy source, charging infrastructure, impact on electrical power system and cost issues. It also provides ideas to overcome the barriers of the technology application in order to speed up their commercialization. This study reveals that having an environmentally friendly vehicle can soon become a reality if our collaborative efforts are properly directed.

W świecie, w którym zabezpieczenie dostaw energii oraz ochrona środowiska to nasze główne problemy rozwój ekologicznych samochodów staje się koniecznością. Elektryczny Pojazd (EV) jest jedną z najbardziej obiecujących technologii, który sprawi, że "ekologiczny sen" się spełni. Niniejsza praca to współczesne studium przypadku biznesowego, który zachęca do natychmiastowego rozwijania miejskich samochodów elektrycznych EV. Oferuje on model, w którym można w pełni czerpać z korzyści miejskich samochodów elektrycznych EV a mianowicie z ich wydajności elektrycznej, redukcji emisji zanieczyszczeń, małych rozmiarów pojazdu oraz redukcji hałasu. Model ten łagodzi potencjalne ograniczenia dla EV, takie jak: źródła energii, zmiany infrastruktury, wpływ na system energii elektrycznej oraz kwestie finansowe. Dostarcza także pomysłów jak pokonać bariery technologicznych zastosowań celem przyspieszenia jego komercjalizacji. Badania dowodzą, że posiadanie pojazdu przyjaznego środowisku może wkrótce stać się rzeczywistością, jeśli nasze wspólne wysiłki zostaną prawidłowo ukierunkowane.
