#electricvehicles are great. Sharing them, better. Norway has been correcting some of the unsustainable impacts from subsidizing personal electric cars. Reminds me of the piece by David Zipper on how Oslo is changing it's outlook and favoring car-free/car-less city center areas. There's a better way to subsidise pollution-free transportation adoption. One that's much more cost-effective. How? 1) Make a compelling multimodal ecosystem more accessible (than private cars) 2) Leverage tools for journey planning and policies that give shared modes an edge (convenience+, comfort+, reliability+) 3) Transit systems have already started witnessing better ridership when collaborating with shared modes (than something like a park-n-ride) "...If we are to compete with cars in a way that helps us reach the tipping point to stop buying cars, we need to provide a “near-personal car” experience. We need a transportation system that offers the same or better freedom of movement without the inefficiencies of individual car ownership.” - Bernt Reitan Jenssen Read full interview here - https://lnkd.in/gvjqP5GM And David Zipper's article here - Zag Daily Movability Ruter As #sharedmobility #multimodal #carsharing #emobility #rebates #policy

Traveling with an electric vehicle (EV) offers a blend of adventure and sustainability, transforming the road trip experience. To ensure a smooth journey, careful planning is essential. Utilize tools like PlugShare and ChargePoint to map your route with charging stations in mind. Understanding different charger types—Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Chargers—can help you maximize efficiency.

Reliable validation that escooters are more climate friendly than cars! My good friend that I admire, Nils Fearnley just posted this screenshot from a report from ITF - International Transport Forum a section within OECD - OCDE showing Green-house gas (GHG) results from a lifecycle analysis of different micromobility modes. IMHO this could give a blue-print for how governments should subsidize e-mobility: 1. Private bikes 2. Shared bikes 3. Private ebikes 4. Private escooters 5. Shared ebikes 5. Shared escooters .... This is a rough, non-exhaustive list that *should* be debated towards also health effects and other shared and private modes such as emopeds, shared modes as car-share, car-pooling, DRT and more. When data shows GHG and health effects at often the opposite side of what consumers demand, comfort - shown in the price they are willing to pay for a taxi ride over an escooter ride that's again over a shared bicycle ride, we need to find a proper prioritization that enables correct subsidization. This also ties into the article me and Nils did for World Economic Forum about #publicmobility - how transit is integrating and subsidizing new modes of shared travel. Thoughts? Tagging some new and old friends I admire to hear your thoughts on the subject!
