Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate opportunities and obstacles for a small municipality (Perstorp) to replace a municipal car with an electric car. In the study environmental aspects such as greenhouse gases and energy efficiency are compared between a conventional car and an electric car. Furthermore, different kinds of charging stations are reviewed with the aim to find a suitable station for a small car-pool. The range need in the municipality is analyzed by using the driving profile of one of the municipal cars which is used as reference car.
Through this study I can conclude that it is possible for the municipality to replace the conventional car with an electric car, although not without a change of driving patterns by the... (More)

Through this study I can conclude that it is possible for the municipality to replace the conventional car with an electric car, although not without a change of driving patterns by the users. With several quick-charging stations already built along the major roads in south Sweden and more planned, all the reference car destinations can be covered by an electrical car. It is important that the car can recharge at the most remote destination to be able to fully cover the road back, from certain destinations that were often visited.
To be able to use the car to its full potential it is important with recharging capacities that can charge at a higher rate than a normal wall-outlet. A semi-quick charging station is preferable at the home base, especially if the municipality will replace more cars with electric cars later on. (Less)
