1. Analysis of Key Factors Influencing the Value of Electric Vehicles Throughout Their Life Cycle

   The transition to electromobility, driven by the need to reduce CO₂ emissions, is fundamentally changing the structure of vehicle fleets and leading to a rapid increase in the number of electric vehicles. Electric propulsion introduces new technical and operational aspects that affect the marketability of vehicles throughout their life cycle. The use of battery systems impacts operational capability, repairability, maintainability, and security. The specific driving dynamics of electric vehicles are also significant, enhancing their utility value while requiring new design approaches. A key factor is the life cycle of traction batteries, whose degradation fundamentally affects driving range and the residual value of vehicles. These phenomena are shaped by developments in infrastructure, services, legislation, and technologies. The aim of this work is to identify and evaluate the factors determining the utility value of electric vehicles and to propose ways of incorporating them into valuation processes.
