The state-of-the-art of municipal electric mobility strategies in Europe: Outlines, scope, elaboration processes, integration into strategic frameworks ELMOS electric mobility in smaller cities International Expert Conference 8 October 2013, Växjö, SE Miriam Lindenau, Rupprecht Consult
Telephone interviews with ELMOS cities How to bring local stakeholders together? How to develop a strategy and where to start? How to raise awareness among citizens? How to transfer other cities experiences to small and medium-sized towns? E-Mobility Strategy Development How to create ownership of an action plan? How to achieve behavioural change? 2
State of the art A great number of European cities have various e-mobility measures in place but only very few take a strategic approach towards e-mobility E-mobility strategy development is still in an early phase The smaller a city is, the less likely it is to have a municipal e- mobility strategy 3

Bottrop Public awareness for e- mobility is strenghtened Change in attitude towards enthusiasm Recommendations will be integrated into the SUMP and Masterplan Innovation City Action Recommendation Partners involved Kurzbericht zur Durchführung der ZukunftsWerkStadt: Elektromobilität wird real, p. 22 Citizen involvement will continue 32
Conclusions Establishment of e-mobility task force (or similar) Analysis of local situation, stakeholders and target groups Development of common vision and targets Local action plan / strategy / concept Measure implementation Monitoring and evaluation Integration into existing frameworks and plans Cooperation on various levels Engagement of citizens and stakeholders 1 33
Conclusions Strategy development: step-by-step Ensure clear distribution of responsibilities (interdepartmental, within municipality and also at regional level) Integrate e-mobility into mobility planning processes as an equal element Identify relevant local stakeholders for cooperation Interactive workshops as a chance to bring local stakeholders together Planning with citizens raises awareness for e-mobility, creates ownership and might initiate behavioural change Consider results from local analyses and input from citizens and stakeholders carefully Stakeholder involvement and citizen participation help to legitimise decisions 1 33
