“…This is a very important factor influencing the range of electric vehicles, which is one of the most discussed problems in EV research [30][31][32]. On the other hand, large-scale implementation of charging facilities influences the increase in energy consumption as noticed for instance by Lazzeroni et al [33]. This may lead to creation of new supply systems, preferably based on renewable energy, as proposed by Badea et al [34].…”

One of the key challenges on the road to sustainable mobility is the development of low/zero emission urban public transport (UPT). This is crucial in order to meet environmental requirements aiming at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. In some countries (e.g., Poland) reduction of air pollution is also an important reason behind the implementation of low/zero emission UPT. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors and mechanisms influencing the development of modern electromobility in Polish UPT. We have examined all 242 UPT systems in the country in terms of the characteristics of the relevant urban municipalities, such as size, economic prosperity, level of human and social capital, development paths of urban public transport in the long term as well as the institutional context and proximity and connections to other cities with experience in electromobility. Classification and statistical methods are used based on a variety of approaches, as assigning a score to various preliminarily identified indicators or applying correlation between quantities to verify the formulated hypotheses. Our analysis demonstrates that electromobility adoption is the result of a combination of favourable economic, urban, social and technological characteristic features of a given city. Zero or low emission buses are more common in large cities which are highly positioned in urban hierarchy, economically sound and which are characterized by a well-developed tertiary economy as well as by high human capital. An additional factor that positively influences the implementation of electromobility—in particular at the very first stage—is proximity to the location of low emission bus producers. The leadership in modern electromobility can be understood as part of a broader, proactive development policy of the cities aimed at improving the quality of life of their residents. This is especially important in medium-sized towns where utilizing electric vehicles can be an instrument to maintain or even develop their role and status. The results of the article may provide a basis for creating sustainable urban policies, especially sustainable mobility and improving environmental quality.

“…Classically, EV charging demand can be evaluated through driving patterns or traffic flows analysis (Feng et al, 2020). These approaches include the use of the Origin-Destination (OD) matrix to study how EV flows and the driving paths are distributed around a city (ElBanhawy et al, 2014), considering the charging behaviour of the users (Fu et al, 2020;Chen et al, 2020) and different range anxiety (Lazzeroni et al, 2021). The latter use Floating Car Data to identify mobility habits, particularly parking patterns, to estimate energy demand for EVs.…”

The diffusion of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) requires a proper charging infrastructure to supply users the chance to charge their vehicles according to energy, time, and space needs. Thus, city planners and stakeholders need decision support tools to estimate the impacts of potential charging activities and compare alternative scenarios. The paper proposes a modelling approach to represent parking activities in urban areas and obtain key indicators of the electric energy required. The agent-based model reproduces the dynamics of user parking and assesses the impacts on the electricity grid during the day. Since the focus is on parking activities, no detailed data on vehicle trips are required to apply the standard demand modelling approach, which would require Origin-Destination matrices to simulate traffic flows on the road network. Preliminary results concerning the city of Turin are presented for simulated scenarios to identify zones where charging demand can be critical and peak events in electric power over the day. The model is designed to be scalable for all European cities because, as the case study shows, it uses available data. The results obtained can be used for the design of charging infrastructure (power and type) by zones.

Urban mobility is the condition that allows the displacement of people in a related city, seeking to develop social and encouraging relationships, and the advancement of factors to urban mobility represents one of the greatest challenges of cities around the world (ITDP, 2018; TISHCER; POLETTE, 2019). Senne, Lima e Favaretto (2021) mention that, the world is facing a situation of overcrowded cities, and this is only getting more accentuated with time, a one of the main activities that is currently aggravating this situation is the transportation sector, which does not contribute to the social and environmental sustainability of cities. According to Bebber et al. (2021) by 2030, annual passenger traffic will exceed 80 trillion passengers per kilometer, and an additional approximately 1.2 billion cars will be on the roads by 2050. According to the International Energy Agency -(IEA, 2021), shared micromobility systems favor urban mobility due to the strong tendency to use active transport. The National Urban Mobility Policy -PNMU establishes guidelines to guide municipalities in the Elaboration of their Urban Mobility Plan -PMU and in the selection of urban mobility management actions to be implemented (BRAZIL, 2012), the elaboration of the PMU accepted a plan designed to achieve consistent results, with defined objectives to achieve a future city model (vision), monitored by indicators (MACHADO; PICCINI, 2018).The severity caused by the Pandemic (COVID-19) and the challenges posed by restricting travel to limit its spread have disrupted every aspect of normal life. Public transport, for example, was directly affected due to the risks of infection. The pandemic has offered ways to transform this scenario in the medium to long term, and in the post-pandemic period, people may be more willing to change their paradigm of thinking, habits, and behavior (BRAZIL, 2021;AVI, 2021). Raghunathan et al. (2021), mention that the current pandemic has given the world an alarm to act to reduce carbon emissions. Electromobility refers to the electrification of transport. For Lazeroni et al. (2021), electromobility plays a significant role in the energy transition within urban areas since the progressive replacement of conventional passenger cars by electric vehicles leads to the decarbonization of the transport sector without direct emissions. Micromobility is composed of vehicles powered by electricity, and light, weighing around 35 kg, traveling at a low speed, and generally transporting only one person (IEA, 2021). Micromobility offers a flexible transport option capable of avoiding road congestion, and reducing the required parking space, these micromobility services have gained popularity in recent years, but little is known about their use (MOLINARES et al., 2021; Reck, 2021).
