Abstract

Zusammenfassung Seit einiger Zeit wird erbittert um die Frage gestritten, ob Elektroautos gegenüber konventionellen Fahrzeugen CO2 einsparen oder nicht. Dieser Streit wird allerdings in einer sehr unglücklichen Form ausgetragen. Vor allem basieren die Studien zu diesem Thema auf sehr unterschiedlichen und zum Teil unrealistischen Annahmen. Zudem vernachlässigen sie zwei zentrale Aspekte für die Beurteilung der Elektromobilität sträflich: den Emissionshandel und die Frage der Kosteneffizienz. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass die Förderung von Elektroautos die vermutlich ineffizienteste Form von Klimapolitik ist, die weltweit zurzeit betrieben wird.
