Abstract: The transition to electrically propelled vehicles is an irreversible process. Batteries are the key element that stores and subsequently releases the energy obtained from renewable energy sources. The transport sector is responsible for the effects on people’s health and greenhouse gas emissions. A sustainable energy environment for urban mobility requires complete transition to electric vehicles. Increasing the production and consumption of energy from renewable sources necessitates new, even larger battery capacities for the storage and subsequent use of said energy. The incorporation of next-generation batteries which provide higher energy density per kilogram of weight, faster loading, more charging cycles and safety will expedite the process of ceasing all production of vehicles propelled by fossil fuels. The formation of acceptable battery prices will create a prerequisite for complete decarbonisation of the transport sector in cities.
