Research needs for EVs

The success of the Electric Vehicle will depend on a number of factors that need to be tackled within the near future. Incentives by governments and the premise of environmental concerns will probably not balance the limited range or the grid integration issues.

To tackle these issues EUCAR, the European Council for Automotive, has mapped out and proposed a number of research needs that are of common concern and of key importance for the wide dissemination of electric vehicles.
