Constant technology development as well as production growth irreversibly leaves marks on the environment. With the increasing of all segments that are involved in human development and progress there is an increase in the use of other means, among others, traffic density. The term traffic includes all sorts of traffic from motorbikes, bicycles, ships, airplanes, buses, trains and cars. However, of all transportation vehicles, the biggest impact on the environment is caused by exhaust gases from internal combustion cars as well as the use of non-renewable energy sources to power them. One of the positive elements of technology improvement is the expansion of possibilities with which it could be prevented or diminish the negative impact on the environment and air quality. Given the increasing number of cars with internal combustion on the road, there is a constant tendency of greater pollution and severe hazards for quality of life as well as human life itself. Electric cars appear as a solution because they use electric energy that could be obtained from renewable energy sources and they do not produce harmful exhaust gases like cars with internal combustion engines do. Most countries realize the importance and the need for more efficient fuel consumption and reducing carbon dioxide emissions and accordingly the Paris Climate Change Agreement was implemented to limit global warming. Croatia is currently among the countries that use minimum renewable energy sources as well as at the top of list of countries that emit high gas emissions from transport. However, the situation is trying to change for better with a variety of projects and incentives from different companies and by the Government to increase electric car numbers on the streets. The purpose of this graduation thesis is to analyze the demand of electric cars in the Republic of Croatia in comparison to other European Union states. For the purposes of researching the perception of users towards electric cars, a survey was conducted to examine current opinions, attitudes and potential purchase of electric cars.
