To make these vehicles the main actors of a radical change in the panorama of movements is a combination between efficiency, practicality and respect for the environment: an evolution in line with the most important European objectives which, by 2025, aim to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by 90% produced by the transport sector.
The main stakeholders, in the meantime, are gradually adapting their business modelsequipping themselves to face what will surely be remembered as a real revolution for the sector.
The strengthening of charging infrastructures in Italy
The growing diffusion of electric cars is determining significant changes primarily in the area. In fact, the Enhancement of charging infrastructures both within urban centers and on state roads and highways.
It is a stringent necessity to continue to encourage investments in these vehicles, given that the distribution of public columns has not yet reached the same degree of capillarity throughout the national territory.
In particular, the greatest concentration – equal to 58% of the total -It would be recorded at the moment in the North, according to the latest data released by Motus-e, followed by the South and the islands, which touch 23% at the moment and the center, for the moment of tail light with 19%.
The response of the insurance sector for hybrid and electric cars
The hybrid and the electric are determining new paradigms also as regards the car policies. The insurance industry is in fact at the forefront in the analysis of new needs and emerging risks, connected to the electrification of transport.
The confirmation comes from the market, with the main companies that are already proposing, in the case of insurance for electric and hybrid cars, Customized accessory guarantees to be combined with civil liability.
Vertefor example, a real digital point of reference of the Mapfre Group in Italy, makes available with the theft and fire warranty the possibility of being covered in case of events such as the malfunction of the electric column or the charging cable theftwhile with Deluxe road assistance allows you to receive support when the vehicle is completely unloaded, through the towing of the vehicle.
But in the coming months, in addition to the innovations from the insurance sector, the expansion of sustainable mobility will also be the expansion of theinnovationwhich could mark the definitive passage of hybrid or electric vehicles from niche proposals to main movement means for millions of people.
Automotive focuses on the optimization of batteries
Sustainable mobility has also revolutionized the work of car manufacturerswhich are constantly struggling with the search and development of increasingly competitive performance solutions.
The main expected progress could reserve interesting evolutions regarding the batteries – more specifically, the Lithium technologies – with the aim of ensuring an increase in the autonomy of the vehicle and a parallel reduction of charging times.
With investments in the sector and progress related to materials, we will also continue to work so that the batteries, in addition to ensuring greater overall safety, can be made with a clear mitigation of production costsfrom which a reduction in the total prices of vehicles could arise.
The cut of the costs could make, in turn, the more competitive hybrid or electric carsintegrating into the strategies aimed at counteracting competition from the main export markets.
Among the aspects that will continue to catalyze the interest of the most important car manufacturers, there will be, also this year, the need to extend the life cycle of batteries: a major life of charging devices in fact involves a reduction in replacement and disposal costs, at the same time contributing to greater overall sustainability.
Ultimately, the year that has just begun, it promises to be full of challenges for the automotive, which in addition to adapting to the new trends in the sector, will be called to focus on convenience and efficiencyso as to make these vehicles an increasingly widespread choice.
