Favourable conditions for infrastructure development Comparison of costs for the use of distribution grid Country Unit cost of power (EUR/kW) Unit cost of energy (EUR/kWh) Cost of power (for 50 kW) (EUR/month) Cost of energy (for 25 kWh) (EUR/month) TOTAL COST (EUR/month) Slovenia 3,24 0,01 162,15 0,29 162,45 Croatia 5,93 0,03 296,67 0,83 303,01 Montenegro 17,27 0,02 863,67 0,41 864,07 3 charges per day (at 10 EUR per charge) for the whole month (30 days) needed just to cover these costs!  

Social costs and benefits of e-mobility COSTS = Public spending for incentives 7.500 per vehicle -> 2.25 million EUR per year BENEFITS = Cumulative avoided costs of CO2 emissions 530 million EUR until 2050
