Abstract
This chapter aims to analyse progress in the transition to the production of electric vehicles - battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles - in the automotive industry of Czechia and Slovakia. It considers thisransition in the context of the position of Czechia and Slovakia in the integrated periphery of the European automotive industry.
It argues that the transition will be slower in Czechia and Slovakia than in western Europe and that both countries will continue to produce internal combustion engine vehicles for longer than vehicle assembly factories in western Europe.
