Abstract

The option for electric vehicles is the appanage of an ecologically aware society that seeks technological solutions for the replacement of internal combustion engines by vehicles powered by electric energy. The State institutions, namely the PSP, must also be aware of this process. The article examines the economic feasibility of introducing electric vehicles in the Safe School Programme of the Public Security Police, with the definition of the cost and cash-flows of electric vehicles compared to internal combustion engines. This analysis shows that the electric vehicle is not economically advantageous, even if its adoption contributes to value creation because of the environment and the interaction with consumer economic agents. The future presents itself with the indispensability of the use of alternative forms of ecological mobility, whereby the ongoing technological development shall render this analysis obsolete, with the exponential growth of the positive externalities of such mobility.
