Abstract:
Urban electric mobility and renewable energies are innovative and smart technologies that can significantly contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy efficiency. In order to increase their integration, the INTERREG EUROPE “EV ENERGY“ project was initiated by five European countries (Italy, Lithuania, Spain, Sweden and the Netherlands). The project partners shared their mobility policies in order to learn how to overcome obstacles for the implementation of sustainable urban mobility. This research project comprises a situational SWOT analysis of electric vehicles, renewable energy and information and communication technologies. The greatest weakness that most countries encounter is the high price of electric vehicles and the lack of a developed charging infrastructure, however, a high number of private initiatives and an increasing people’s awareness are promising.
