CHALLENGES FOR ELECTROMOBILITY UNDER THE WARTIME CONDITIONS DOI: 10.33868/0365-8392-2022-4-272-63-66
Abstract. In wartime conditions, when the supply of oil-based energy resources has become a critical issue, the relevance of using alternative motor fuels and energy sources for road transport has significantly increased. The deployment of wheeled vehicles with electric motor should play a role in diversifying the energy supply of the transport sector. Among the various aspects of electromobility being researched, the issues of overall reliability, resilience, and safety/security become a priority. In a broad sense, the safety of electromobility can be assessed in terms of existing and potential risks, including risks related to ensuring the availability of an adequate fleet of electric vehicles, risks concerning the creation and maintenance of infrastructure to support electric vehicle operation, risks related to the operation, maintenance, and repair of electric vehicles, including the potential for emergency situations, and also risks concerning the disposal of elec-tric vehicles and their separate parts. Under the war conditions, these risks significantly increase, often becoming critical, especially due to the physical destruction of manufacturing enterprises, damage to road, energy, and other infrastructure, interruption or blockage of supply routes for certain types of equipment, resources, or components, instability or lack of energy supply, a reduction in the number of qualified personnel, and decreased capacity of emergency and rescue services etc. Keywords: electromobility, electric vehicle, risks for electromobility, technical regulation.
