Abstract

The transition to electromobility represents one of the most significant transformational challenges for the automotive sector in the Slovak Republic. This article analyzes the key determinants of this process—from the development of charging infrastructure and industrial transformation to government measures and the economic and legislative factors influencing the adoption of electric vehicles. The research draws on current statistics, European regulations, and a comparative analysis of the Visegrad Group (V4) countries and the European Union. The results highlight structural inequalities in charging availability, insufficient state support, and, at the same time, the strong potential of Slovakia to become a regional leader in electromobility. The article provides a practical framework for public policy design, investment decision-making, and further research in sustainable transport.
