The EU's flagship electromobility project, Green eMotion, was started in 2011 with the goal to prepare the foundation for the mass deployment of Europe-wide electromobility. The project consists of a consortium of forty-two partners from industry, the energy sector, electric vehicle manufacturers, and municipalities as well as universities and research institutions.
At the start of the project market expectations were very high. But looking today on what has happened within the last 4 years, it is obvious that the real development did not keep up to the prediction. What are the challenges the development of electromobility is dealing with? And how can we get the mass deployment of electromobility really started in Europe?
How to increase user acceptance?
How to get charging infrastructure on the road?
How can authorities and politics support the uptake of electromobility?
From this work Green eMotion setup policies and regulations for all levels of administration and political institutions.
