Electric vehicles have throughout their history fell into oblivion very soon after their commercialization because conventional vehicles pushed them out of the market and the reason for this was mostly a very small battery capacity. It is precisely the development of batteries that, along with environmental awareness, has once again encouraged the development of electric vehicle technology that would eventually completely replace conventional vehicles. Today, there are 3 basic types of electric vehicles on the market, and they differ in the share of electricity used to drive vehicles. Higher capacity batteries enable greater vehicle range, but also increase the price of the vehicle and, of course, require a longer charging time, which with the increase in the number of electric vehicles can cause problems in power systems. In order to avoid higher peak loads of power systems, various controlled charging strategies are devised. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the automotive industry was affected as well as the car market, so that total car sales fell compared to the same last year period, but for electric vehicles there is a noticeable increase in sales.
