Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se ekološkim otiskom automobila na električni pogon. Električne automobile smatramo najboljom ekološkom alternativom zbog smanjenja ispušnih plinova i povoljnog utjecaja na okoliš. Za razliku od klasičnih automobila koji tijekom svoje vožnje ispuštaju emisije kroz auspuh, električni automobili ih ne ispuštaju.. Iako električna vozila ne ispuštaju emisije tijekom korištenja, postavlja se pitanje na koji se način dobiva električna energija za njihov pogon.. Isto tako, električni automobili koriste baterije koje sadrže opasne spojeve i elemente poput litija čije su količine ograničene.. Istodobno se pojavljuje problem utjecaja baterija na okoliš, njihovog skladištenje i recikliranja. Ovaj diplomski rad pokazuje jesu li električni automobili stvarno automobili s nultom emisijom zagađenja ili imaju emisije tijekom eksploatacije sirovina, njihove proizvodnje te kako njihovo zbrinjavanje utječe na okoliš.

Abstract (english)

This master thesis deals with the ecological footprint of electric cars. Electric cars are considered to be the best ecological alternative due to the reduction of exhaust gases and their favourable impact on the environment In comparison to classic cars that cause emissions through their exhaust pipes, electric cars do not cause emissions. Although electric cars do not cause emissions the question arises as to how electricity is obtained to power them. Also,, electric cars use batteries that contain dangerous compounds and elements like lithium whose resources are limited.. At the same time, there is a problem concerning the impact of batteries on the environment, their storage and recycling. The thesis shows whether electric cars are really zero-emission cars or cause emissions during the exploitation of raw materials, their production and how the environment is affected by their disposal.
