Society and politics place great hope in electromobility. However, there is a heated debate about whether and how a comprehensive and sustainable spread of electric vehicles can be achieved. For the continuation of this debate, it is important to compile the results from the numerous funding programs and studies that have been initiated in recent years with various questions and perspectives into a comprehensive overview. The authors of this volume undertake this task. They present a well-supported overall view, backed by numerous facts and data, on the current state of technological development, promising initial markets, market ramp-up scenarios, as well as political activities, and illustrate the ecological, economic, and social dimensions of integrating electric vehicles within a holistic assessment.
