Bridging the Gap in E-Mobility: from Supranational Goals to Local Legal Barriers to New Market Opportunities.

Abstract

Supranational, national and local goals clearly set the agenda for low-emission transport in urban and sub-urban areas. If no clear incentives are given on a nationwide or local scope, only early adopters implement e-mobility. Often it turns out that local authorities, respectively local regulations and laws are hindering e-mobility rather than technology itself. How the gap from supranational goals to urban barriers can be overcome and new market opportunities will be created is the core element of the following paper.
