In most of the western countries, car is the prevalent means of transport for local mobility. At the same time, sensitivity to environmental issues is increasing, correlated to the consciousness that carbon dioxide emissions have to be reduced. In regard to these two trends (individual mobility and public opinions favourable to a reduction of carbon emissions), energy-efficient vehicles will probably develop in the future-car manufacturers actually prepare new offers for the mass market. Comparable cases have occurred during the last decades-probably more modest but full of learning: some local authorities have promoted innovations based on electric vehicles in the 1990s, and some people have chosen this kind of cars for their daily travels. This article deals with these pioneers (This article comes from a communication at the ECEEE Summer Study, June 2009, Panel 6: Energy efficiency in transport and mobility.). Reporting studies carried out in 2006 and 2008, we intend to identify the reasons of this innovative modal choice, to show the difficulties that electric vehicle drivers then encountered and to analyse the patterns of use that governed their mobility and their use of electric vehicles.
The project CROME-cross-border mobility for electric vehicles-is the first European field demonstration introducing a standardised and interoperable cross-border charging infrastructure network in the French-German Upper Rhine region. The main aim of the project, funded by different Ministries on both sides of the border, is to create and test a safe, seamless, user-friendly and reliable mobility with electric vehicles between France and Germany. Fully public interoperable charging stations have been implemented ensuring easy access and charging of EVs all over the French and German CROME area. Solutions are developed and tested about charging services enabling simplified authentication, identification, billing as well as charging spot availability and reservation. The achieved CROME market place enables data exchanges and roaming between different operators ICT back-end systems based on the Bosch service brokering platform. Feedback on customer acceptance of e-mobility and user needs with regard to charging is carried out.
De plus en plus de couples passant à la retraite choisissent de vivre entre deux logements, souvent l'un en ville et l'autre à la campagne. Chaque domicile assure des modes de vie et de sociabilité complémentaires. La mobilité de l'un à l'autre s'intensifie ou se distend suivant l'histoire nomade ou sédentaire du couple.
Le véhicule électrique induit-il de nouvelles façons de se mouvoir ? Ce texte, qui se situe dans le champ de la sociologie des usages, présente les évolutions que le véhicule hybride rechargeable apporte dans le système de mobilité des utilisateurs. Il s’agit en effet, pour les salariés le testant pendant les trois années de l’expérimentation, de modifier leur mode de conduite, mais également d’intégrer la pratique de recharge aux habitudes quotidiennes, afin de rester le plus possible en mode électrique. Les auteurs montrent également que les modalités de mise à disposition du véhicule (voiture de fonction, de service, ou dans un pool) clivent des usages différenciés du dispositif. En effet, l’attribution d’un véhicule à titre individuel (ou non) au sein de l’entreprise est un facteur explicatif des usages, tout aussi puissant que le caractère hybride rechargeable du véhicule : cette attribution nominative encourage des usages réguliers (notamment pour les trajets domicile-travail) et autorise une charge fréquente à domicile, autant d’aspects qui accroissent l’attachement à ce véhicule. Ces modalités contrastées de mise à disposition soulignent l’importance du dispositif sociotechnique complet, autrement dit de l’articulation entre déplacements et stationnement au sein du système de mobilité des individus.
