Abstract
Sustainable urban mobility is evolving rapidly, attempting to facilitate mobility and goods’ transportation in an economic and environmentally friendly direction. Among the actions taking place worldwide to provide such solutions is the promotion of electromobility. In this paper, a systematic literature review is carried out focusing on the impacts of adopting Electric Vehicles (EVs) at a national and local (city) level and the incentives required to promote their adoption by future consumers. Some countries, such as Norway, have successfully established measures to foster the use of EVs and achieved remarkably high penetration rates. On the other hand, there are still countries, which face crucial issues regarding the adoption of EVs. One of them is Greece, where the low availability of charging infrastructure and the lack of incentives have created significant barriers towards the promotion of electromobility. To this end, a Pan-Hellenic survey was implemented addressing the beliefs, preferences and intentions of people to use electric vehicles in their daily life. The questionnaire was answered by 400 respondents and from the data collected, critical conclusions were revealed, as for the incentives needed to promote electromobility, the optimal location of charging infrastructure and the pricing of the provided services at a national and at a local (city) level.
