Towards a sustainable use of electric vehicles
Om rapporten
To combat the negative externalities of increased car use, that is a result of the low marginal costs after an initial electric vehicle purchase and adoption, this study has designed and evaluated three incentives that aim to reduce private car trips into the already congested city centers.
The incentives were a combination of 1) free EV parking and charging outside of the congestion area (of Stockholm) and an additional reduced-fare 2) public transport- or 3) e-scooter.
The respondents recorded desired locations for their incentives, thereby providing an indication for public charging infrastructure- and “entrance parking” (infartsparkering) demand. Selected modelling result interpretation include: 1) the incentives are more effective in deterring female, young (18–24), or parttime employed respondents from driving into the city centers than their male, older, or full-time employed; 2) parking is a good incentive for those who need it; and 3) reduced-fare public transport and e-scooter incentive is best for existing users.
The report outlines several methodologies for stakeholder analysis and policy roadmap creation.
The project has been funded by the Swedish EPA’s environmental research grant, which aims to fund research in support of the Swedish EPA and the Swedish Marine and Water Authority’s knowledge needs.
