Equalising the Levels of Electromobility Implementation in Cities

Launching activities oriented towards electromobility development in urban areas is a difficult process, which is mainly due to the existence of barriers of infrastructural and social nature. This article provides a discussion concerning different levels of electromobility development and highlights the main efforts undertaken for the sake of identification of potential sites for vehicle charging stations. The research of transport accessibility was conducted in two cities characterised by diverse levels of maturity of electromobility implementation (The Hague and Budapest). The authors have proposed a method intended for acquisition of data concerning the real-life needs of the travelling population, assumed to function as a means of decision making support for local authorities with regard to installation of charging infrastructure. The method relies on the use of modern technologies, including a multimodal travel planner developed under the international project entitled Electric Travelling, implemented within the framework of the ERANET CoFund Electric Mobility Europe programme.
