Greening the economy reduces environmental costs through more efficient use of resources, while new ecofriendly technologies and techniques help boost employment, and give new impetus to the economy. Environmental policy can help achieve strategic objectives for smart, sustainable and overall growth. The presented study is part of the subject of resource management in accordance with the assumptions of sustainable development. The study aims to compare the development of the use of electric vehicles in the countries of Europe. Indicating the degree of development and differences between countries can be helpful in developing a strategy in this area, both for individual countries and a single strategy for the region. The study used data from a survey conducted for the purpose of work on a sample of 312 people from the Union European countries. Comparative analysis and tools from the field of multivariate statistical analysis were used in the work. Models based on multi-criteria analysis are implemented to evaluate the effectiveness of the selected subjects. The research has demonstrated the importance of national legislative action to promote this mode of transport. We focused on comparing demographically comparable countries such as Slovakia and Finland. The research has shown that Electromobility is a good choice for reducing passenger transport emissions. lt is essential that the weakest countries have to invest in the infrastructure needed to run electric vehicles. This is an important step to achieve greater interest in this alternative power source.
