To achieve EU targets for 2020, internal combustion engine cars need to be gradually replaced with hybrid or electric ones, which have low or zero GHG emission. The paper presents a short overview of dynamic history of the electric vehicles, which led to nowadays modern solutions. Different possibilities for the electric power system realizations are described. Electric vehicle (EV) operation is analyzed in more details. Market future of EVs is discussed and plans for 2020, up to 2030 are presented. Other effects of electrification of the vehicles are also analyzed.
