FOREWORD
Low and inhomogeneous deployment of electro mobility (e-mobility) characterises Alpine Space (AS).
The count of electric charging stations (E-CS) varies from 15 to 235 E-CS per M inhabitants whereas e-
vehicles’(EV) number varies from 70 to 470 per M inhabitants. One reason for the inadequate diffusion
is low interoperability of E-CS often due to the limited integration of planning instruments used by
Public Administrations (PA) and their lack of knowledge in technological innovation and business
modelling. If at all, PAs address the issue in an isolated way and leave the investments to private non-
coordinated initiatives; therefore there is a need of regional administrations’ capacity building and
integrated transnational approach. e-MOTICON brings together 15 partners from 5 countries, involving
40 observers and 8 endorsements from each programme area and Switzerland, including managing
authorities, regional bodies, research centres and private investors. The partnership aims to support PAs
in ensuring homogeneous development of e-mobility, deploying an innovative transnational strategy of
integration among spatial planning, innovative business models and technologies, sustainable mobility
patterns, energy efficiency instruments and policies enabling large diffusion of E-CS and wider
interoperability. After the analysis of policies, business models and technological solutions, e-
MOTICON delivers a White book on innovative E-CS planning to respect e-mobility requirements in
AS transnational strategy and Regional Action Plans. It provides a toolset to anticipate E-CS network
requirements and test it in 3 joint pilot actions. A transnational community involves PAs and
representatives of the e-mobility industrial sector, research centres, regional agencies, end users
(residents & tourists) and public transport agencies to improve PAs capacity on E-CS planning,
cooperation, increase knowledge and enhance consensus.
1 INTRODUCTION
e-MOTICON project support the realization of RAPs in order to support and adapt to local needs on the
subject to enhance the public administration capabilities in building an interoperable infrastructure for
charging electric vehicle in the Alpine Space, coordinating and using the DIFA1 transposition in the
different countries.
The proposed action are coherent with EU policies, Alpine Space area policies (EUSALP, EUREGIO,
Montraf! objectives) for a common long-term vision for a sustainable transport system for the Alpine
Space. The common short- and mid-term targets defined in the strategy, as common target to reach are
translated into actions that are listed and ranked, as a development path. The proposed measures, that
support these targets, will lead to a more harmonised transport system, including the use of new steering
instruments.
Moreover the RAPs will live over the project lifetime, remaining as a living document that can be used
to continue the path towards the long term objectives.
1.1 Objective of this report
e-MOTICON project developed 5 Regional Action Plans for each of the 5 countries (Austria, France,
Germany, Italy, Slovenia). The main objectives of the RAP are to give a common strategy in all the
different areas to enhance the public administration capabilities in building an interoperable

infrastructure (E-CS) for charging electric vehicle (EV) in the Alpine Space, considering that low and
inhomogeneous deployment of electro mobility (e-mobility) characterises Alpine Space (AS). One
reason for the inadequate diffusion is low interoperability of E-CS often due to the limited integration of
planning instruments used by Public Administrations (PA) and their lack of knowledge in technological
innovation and business modelling. If at all, PAs address the issue in an isolated way and leave the
investments to private non-coordinated initiatives; therefore there is a need of regional administrations’
capacity building and integrated transnational approach.
1.2 What are the RAPs for?
e-MOTICON Regional Action Plan are intended to
✓ help in defining coherent actions to gain common objectives (long term & medium/long term)
for the Alpine Space Area
✓ help to implement a common Alpine Space Strategy (e-MOTICON Strategy) at Regional/Local
level
✓ support the transportation choices of Public Administrators to:
o make and move more people via e-mobility
o implementing interoperable E-CS.
o increase mobility options,
o improve safety,
o address climate change,
o improve public health,
o create more eco-friendly accessibility to fragile ecosystem areas
1.3 What are the RAP target groups?
e-MOTICON RAP’s target groups are mainly represented by the regional (or local, depending on
National rules) Public Administrations involved in planning and supporting the deployment of
infrastructure networks for charging electric vehicles.
1.4 RAP’s Guiding Principles
The main guiding principles for the RAPs are represented by :
• Environmental & energy goals achievement (at EU, national level, local measurements)
• Transport policies should be managed along the environmental capacities of the sensitive
mountain areas and should not put at risk the health of citizens,
• Look for a sustainable transport system:
o LCA2 approach to assess the environmental value of transport system/solution
o Externalities methodology for measuring impact of transport solution/system
o mobility with less externalities (as e-Mobility) could be locally advantaged because its minor
impact on health & environment
• Public participation and stakeholder involvement: to create awareness about the problem and
ensure a sense of public ownership in order to build support for relevant measures;

• Integration: an interoperable E-CS network is an integral part of the mobility environmental
energetic policies for European countries and the whole EU
• E-CS planning should be closely linked to spatial planning and economic promotion policies to
better meet mobility demands in passenger and freight transport to ensure regional development
• Sustainable consumption and production: the use of goods and services that respond to basic
needs and bring a better quality of life, while minimising the use of natural resources, toxic materials
and emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle;
• Best available knowledge and socioeconomic effectiveness: actions and operational targets
should be based on available knowledge and take into account the social and economic costs of
pollution compared to the cost and benefits of proposed measures.
1.5 Intervention lines
The main intervention lines are represented by:
• enhance the public administration capabilities in building an interoperable infrastructure for
charging electric vehicle in the Alpine Space
• support local public administration in fulfil health and environmental goals
• contribute to a shared policy that involves the contribution of investors and operators
1.5.1 General: KPI for monitoring, evaluation, communication
The proposed methodology suggests a list of action that will be ranked according local need and
vocation. The actions will be described through use of a list of KPIs3 (Key Performance Indicator). This
approach imply a deep analysis to understand both the present state of the art and what is relevant,
moreover it focus on key activities, associated with the selection of performance indicators. The use of
KPI will:
• assure a simple monitoring of the effect of the actions,
• gives feedback for its evaluation along the time.
• Gives a simple scheme on which develop a communication/information strategy, supporting a
governance model in which administrators and general public can easily understand action
goals, costs, progression.
The use of KPI will also support a prioritization actions based on MultiCriteriaAnalysis4 (MCA), that
will be proposed in the following chapters.
The ranking among actions considers contribution of many features, as action impact, costs and
duration.
1.6 Methodology
e-MOTICON suggests Regional Action Plans to Public Authorities with a transnational approach,
coherent with supra regional policies and plans, on the theme of deploying an interoperable
infrastructure for electric vehicles. This work is done on a solid review of the existing situation (State of
the Art). The RAP proposes also some action for reaching short, medium and long term objectives.
3 A Key Performance Indicator is a measurable value that demonstrates how effectively the process is achieving key
objectives. 4 MultiCriteria Analysis explicitly evaluates multiple conflicting criteria in decision making

These actions derives also from the Pilot Action experiences (actions with a strong transnational feature)
designed in order to check solution on main open questions.
The scenario analysis of each Alpine Space region has revealed a remarkable diversity of approaches in
terms of promotion and development of e-mobility. Analysis made in e-MOTICON project itself and in
other AS project (e.g iMONITRAF!) are able to provide a broad overview on existing policies, on its
background and actions
1.6.1 State of the art analysis
In general, all the e-MOTICON area of interest has implemented both regulatory and market-based
measures. Most regions use restrictive regulatory ones about traffic with exemptions from bans or from
parking payment for e-mobility. Financial measures are considered in addition or in substitution to the
previous ones; market-based approaches can be found through subsidies for vehicles purchasing,
charging infrastructure installation and subscriptions. The following figure provides an overview of
measures taken by different regions involved in the e-MOTICON project and shows their
implementation at each level.
1.6.1.1 Link with the main policies in the Alpine Space
All countries involved in the e-MOTICON project have implemented policies of support for the
conversion from traditional mobility (based on ice) towards e-mobility. Countries as Germany have so
far implemented an approach based primarily on the application of measures of legislative and
regulatory nature. Italy and Liechtenstein have, with different levels, implemented more market shares.
The distinct national structuring in terms of government and expertise is able to impact strongly in the
kind and in the “magnitude” of measure adopting. Federal governments such as Austria and Switzerland
are characterized by many local variables that differ considerably territories also sparsely far apart.
Actions on information, monitoring and awareness include specific measures can be defined as being a
potentially flexible base and a support for further measures. These actions may include monitoring e.g.
type and amount of traffic e-vehicles flows, service state of E-CS and real time information for
customers that have to adopt a suitable behavior. Awareness campaigns are important to raise awareness
and connect the Alpine transport policy with users. The following table provides a description adopted
by some regional authorities in those terms.
Measures for reducing negative impacts of traffic and sustainable mobility promotion are intended to
limit the negative environmental impacts of existing Alpine traffic volumes. They generally have an
indirect impact on e-mobility, as all measures of this package of policies typically reduce the
attractiveness of the conventional type transport (i.e. ice-vehicles). These policies include permanent
measures as well as emergency measures to tackle air pollution peaks.
Permanent measures include various types of bans which are aimed at different objectives of sustainable
transport in the Alpine Space area. For example, the bans related to highly polluting vehicles (from
which e-mobility is exempt) can be seen as a reference measure to reduce air pollution. To avoid
atmospheric pollution peaks, this policy also includes more targeted interventions that enter into force
only when the air pollution exceeds or is approaching the limit values. In the following table are
presented the permanent measures taken by some Alpine Space regions in order to deal with this aspect.

Moreover the tourism phenomenon in the Alpine area has been exploited over the years by some local
authorities to develop and promote “clean” mobility solutions, including e-mobility, have been
implemented over the years. Direct services to mountain resorts or luggage transport are services that
meet the e-mobility characteristics. In this context some regions included in the e-MOTICON project
has made use of their good accessibility e.g. along the European traffic corridors, adding measures for
tourists related to sustainable and e-mobility. The use and the promotion of charging infrastructure could
alleviate the negative impacts caused by the presence of conventional vehicles in high natural value
areas.
1.6.1.2 E-CS infrastructures in Alpine Space area
The E-CS network within the Alpine Space area is characterized by considerable variability, often
caused by different territorial planning both at local and national level. This situation has not so far led
to the creation of a single E-CS collection platform inside the whole area; on the other hand, this
phenomenon is also prevented by a constant and rapid extension of locally developed E-CS networks
and a continuous renewal of existing infrastructures. At the moment it can be considered over 10,500
public charging points within the Alpine Space area. Concerning the evolution of charging networks,
there is a strong presence of E-CS characterized by charging power less than or equal to 22 kW (about
50% of the whole sample), characterized for 86.8% by 22 kW - type 2 - plugs (common in Germany,
Austria and Slovenia) and from 13.2% by 3 kW ones (mostly common in France and Italy). These data
doesn’t consider the Swiss case, whose data are not directly verifiable, characterized by various types of
non-standard plugs. In any case estimations (on projections from LEMnet website) relating to the Swiss
Confederation indicate a presence of 650 22 kW - type 2 – E-CS among on a whole number of 3460
ones (about 18.7%).
Given the 54 major players in the Alpine Space area, more than an half is closely involved in energy
activities, in particular in Germany, Slovenia and France. Nevertheless, normally the E-CS operators are
mostly influenced in installation planning of the charging infrastructure by logistical causes and
customer requests. These phenomena lead them mainly to not care the electrical aspects such as
positioning of the infrastructure (e.g. considering the e-network topology) and its impact in terms of
required power. Besides the installation of the infrastructure, the E-CS operators are commonly involved
in the infrastructure operation, excepting some cases like the simple charging device owned by privates,
companies, local authorities or even third parties. In any case the activities that involve the majority of
the E-CS operators (48 of 54) consist in services provision, including management of web platforms that
allow the operation of charging points, the commercial phase of the charging service, the provision of
energy services (usually related to energy suppliers) related, consulting activities on behalf of
municipalities and companies who want to build a charging network, providing access for charge cards
at the E-CS and, finally, the management of electric vehicle fleets. IT support actions are often related to
the previous ones; this kind of activity considers tools management such as web sites, smartphone
applications, access management server for recharging systems (through RFID cards, prepaid cards,
keys, etc.) and maps of the charging network with information on the technical aspects as well as those
on the operating status. Some E-CS operators have been joined their force to feed a common European
web platform (provided in the LEMnet site, in the following figure) able to provide E-CS current place
and service state.
Currently, the regions involved in e-MOTICON project are characterized by different situations relating
to E-CS infrastructure. Considering the main European corridors TEN-T and the international E-road

network, new e-infrastructures are currently present, under construction or under discussion. The
significant traffic flows related to major alpine corridors and tunnels may represent an enormous
potentiality for a firstly strong implementation of E-CS in the Alpine Space area. The following table
provides an overall vision for the corridor on the existing infrastructure in order of type and placing.
1.6.2 E-MOTICON strategy and pillars
e-Moticon objectives: the project aims to “contribute to the homogeneous diffusion of Electric
Mobility throughout the Alpine Space, providing a transnational strategy for seamless use of electric
vehicles and charging spots with an integrated approach supported by PAs”.
In e-MOTICON Project the term “visions” refers to two different items:
• A long-term vision, which indicates what is expected to be the future of e-mobility in the next
15-20 years. This includes the evolution of both technical aspects, users’ needs & behaviors and
PAs role, activities & organization.
• A project-term vision, which indicates what is wanted to be the future of e-mobility in the
Alpine Space in the next 3 years. strongly related to e-Moticon objectives (which should cover,
at least, a relevant part of the vision).
The Strategic Vision is based on the following main features:
• Public Authorities are a key actor to lead the infrastructure development
• The Alpine Space is made of different realities, from Metropolitan Areas to isolated
rural/mountain areas. The optimal solutions for transport are multiple:
o Local Public Transport in urban, peri-urban and congested areas;
o Rails for freight and passenger transport especially for long-range and cross-country trips
o Low emissions private transport for small cities, towns and mountain communities.
• Technologic solutions are ready and mostly available. It’s now important to choose common
solutions, set up common rules and respect them.
• Goals can be reached according to a “priority approach”
• A set of few, focused and coordinated actions would be sufficient to reach the goals
• Communication, education and training are sometime more important than technical aspects
Six strategic Pillars are defined in order to approach the Strategic Vision, and fulfill the strategic
objectives:
#1—DEFINE THE BEST POSSIBLE ROLES OF PAS: within the Alpine Space, Public
Authorities play many different roles with regards to charging infrastructure deployment. Choices of PAs
can depend on many aspects and can find expression in many different actions. The relevance of PA on
two main aspects is crucial: its commitment towards e-mobility and its availability of money for the
charging infrastructure.
#2—SET SUPRA-REGIONAL COMMON MINIMUM RULES ON INFRASTRUCTURE:
setting supra-regional common minimum rules permits PAs should facilitatethe deployment of a
trnsnational charging infrastructure.
#3—IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE: it has to be noticed that the diffusion of charging
points is not homogenous around the Alpine Space and that relevant differences exist, both from
one country to another and from different areas in the same country. This leads to the existence
of areas with a high density of charging points (mainly urban and metropolitan areas) but, at the
European Regional Development Fund
Report
Pag. 13/202
same time, to the existence of completely unequipped areas, especially in rural and mountain
areas of some countries. In order to let EV drivers easily travel along the Alpine Space, it is
mandatory to cover “black areas” as soon as possible. These parts of territory often represent
“market failure” areas, where the number of charging events could unlikely create interesting
revenues for the service provider. Despite of that, it is due of the Public Authority to provide EV
charging as a “public service”, in order to let anybody travel in the whole regional territory
without any limits and to allow accessibility also to rural and mountains area, often linked to
touristic attractions (skiing, wellness, lake sailing, trekking, hiking…).
#4—ADOPT AN INTEGRATED, SUPRA-REGIONAL MAPPING TOOL: The need to
find a charging station is a common issue for any EV driver. Nowadays, different solutions are
co-existing for this purpose; each of them still often doesn’t represent the perfect answer, as they
commonly include only a partial representation of the complete infrastructure or partial/not
verified information. Moreover a transnational approach is strongly needed: EV users nowadays
have to adopt and compare different instruments. e-MOTICON partners agree on the need for a
more structured solution, in order to let the drivers have a sure and reliable source of information
for the whole area. They suggest this issue have to be solved by realizing National official
databases for publicly accessible EV recharging points. This database should provide EV drivers
with the location of the charging points, and possibly indicate whether they are free or occupied,
out of order, or momentarily not accessible, for each country in the Alpine Space. These
databases already exist in some European countries, while are still missing or under development
in many other. Once National official databases are available and reliable data are accessible to
third parties, it will be a natural consequence to aggregate them into a “transnational map”.
#5—EMPOWER COMMUNICATION AMONG PUBLIC AUTHORITIES and OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS: in order to create a favourable and homogenous environment for e-
mobility development, there is a strong need of communication and coordination among them.
The scope of this communication is to commonly identify minimum technical requirements for
the infrastructure among different Regions, share knowledge and information about e-mobility,
spread knowledge.
#6—GUARANTEE SYNERGY AMONG PRIVATE AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT :
Because of private transport still represents the biggest component of urban traffic, it is therefore
a crucial aspect on which to intervene through more sustainable solutions as e-mobility.
Nevertheless, it has to be taken into serious consideration that local public transport (LPT),
especially within metropolitan areas, is one of the most effective modal solution and that a
sensible shift from private to public transport would have a very effective impact on
sustainability of urban mobility.
1.6.3 Pilot Action experiences
The e-MOTICON Pilot Actions are intended to test and assess measures to enable stakeholders to contribute to
building an international interoperable E-CS network in the long term in alignment with common strategies and
objectives.
The pilot actions strive to test measures which specifically appeal to the before mentioned target groups and help
them to engage successfully in the development of an interoperable E-CS system empowering them in the long
run to identify and carry out actions which will help trigger the aspired growth of the E-CS network in accordance
with national and international strategies and specific goals.

1.6.3.1 Role and goals of the pilots
The main goal of the pilot actions is to address the strategic objectives within the document giving support by
gaining new insights, suggesting and testing new technological solutions, supporting exchange of experiences,
providing and distributing knowledge via different channels in the different fields concerning E-CS. With this
strategy of support, empowerment and knowledge gain they also address the bigger strategies, policies and
objectives concerning e-mobility which build the context for the pilot action.
Within the pilot actions concrete activities to support the establishment of interoperable E-CS infrastructure are
performed aiming for the following goals which serve to reach the vision pictured before and the project
objectives by providing concrete deliverables and outputs and supporting the deliverables and outputs of other
tasks performed in the adjacent work packages:
• Testing individual measures in different regions
• Gaining knowledge on the implementation of interoperability measures
• Providing recommendations and best practices for interoperability measures
• Provide newly generated knowledge as input for the other pilot actions and follow-up activities
• By using similar measures in different regions and applying tested measures again later on during the
implementation of the pilots test their replicability
• Demonstrate and test the application of measures supporting national and international E-CS strategies
and planning throughout the Alpine Space
• Generate input especially best practices and recommendations for measures for a guideline
• Generate knowledge for the definition of the planning strategy and a basis for the development of
regional action plans.
The role of the pilot actions is the actual implementation of measures in the field, whereas the role of the strategy
is to provide a theoretical background for E-CS planning and objectives in the short- and long-term. The Pilot
actions striving to derive an improved transnational strategy adjusted for the Alpine Space with concrete
recommended actions. The first with a theoretical focus, the second for practical purposes, but both of them are
intertwined and rely on each other. And again both of them are spread and discussed within thee-MOTICON
transnational community.
In general the benefit added by pilot actions to the project are recommendations for actions that have already been
tested and evaluated concerning their potential effect on E-CS development and empowerment of stakeholders to
get successfully involved in the realization of an interoperable E-CS network.
Action plans not only include the description of challenges and the need for action, together with goals but also
include measures to reach these goals and this is where the pilot actions can help to define regional action plans.
The pilot actions strive to find innovative measures and ways to successfully reach strategic goals to realize an
efficient practical interoperable E-CS network that fulfils the needs of its users. They put these measures to a test,
thus finding out which of them can be recommended under which circumstances and what the potential effects on
the E-CS infrastructure development may be. Therefore they can be very valuable as part of newly developed
regional action plans, as a better estimation of their feasibility and accomplishable results upon their realization
exists. The findings (descriptions of measure plus experiences made during the implementations) are put together
and made available as guidelines, which are directly useable by the regional public authorities, which are the main
drivers of regional action plans. So the guidelines which feature the pilot actions as use cases and best practices
are put to a test within the project to guide the first regional action plans which include measures from the pilot
actions where suitable.

1.6.3.2 Short description of the e-MOTICON pilots
• The activities carried out in the pilot action e-HUB aim to understand better which measures help to
ensure legal and political interoperability. The main objectives to be supported are:
o Communication (vertical and horizontal): needs, activities, coordination.
o Policy transfer & application (vertical and horizontal).
o Knowledge diffusion: exchange of best practice, technology update on E-CS and e-Mobility, pilot
actions results.
The instruments used for the activities in the pilot regions are: WEB based platform: internal working
space & external/public communication and repository, questionnaires and interviews and local seminars
The Pilot action has three activities:
o Activity 1 – Set up instruments for the help-desk model
o Activity 2 – Transfer and collect information to local authorities and users
o Activity 3 – Guidelines (policy recommendations) on e-mobility for local public authorities and
coordination of local networks
• Problem identified giving the basic idea for the e-TRAIL pilot was that disparities exist between existing
and emerging set-ups of ECS5 and established ECS networks, managing systems within PP regions that
are or could enable integration of regional ECS networks into transnational interoperable and e-roaming
systems. Since they are ECS that are not interoperable and still ECS being set up without the technical
software to be interoperable, the objective of the pilot is increasing the readiness of local /regional ECS
networks to be integrated into local/regional/transnational interoperable and roaming systems and to
improve regional/local policies to better service potential national or foreign investors in ECS
infrastructure and to ease user experience using ECS regardless to where user comes from.
Another thing is that user informational platforms have to be addressed in order to better serve the user.
The existing issues are that in some cases they are several existing platforms not providing unified
information or having the same methodological approach of displaying information. This may confuse the
user and the service providers. In other case(s) information platform has to be set up to enable
information on localization, type of ECS, payment possibilities, availability etc. – in short to enhance
ECS network information both for users, developers and operators. The objective for the informational
platforms is to identify the needs of improvement and do steps for improvement.
Where the above issues do not represent a challenge another developments are going to be realised. ECS
networks will be a part of integrated existing multimodal transport and better services the users. Simple
application of use of the charging infrastructure, an app or mobility card can and will be used to extend
the possibilities of use to other transport systems to ease multimodal mobility travel. Timeframe
milestones will help monitoring the progress of the e-TRAIL pilot activities. Scheduled meetings within
the pilot timeframe will serve as knowledge exchange opportunity and tackle possible obstacles during
the implementation of the activities. It has three activities:
o Activity 1: Setting up interoperable systems
o Activity 2: User information platforms
o Activity 3: E-roaming platforms
• Due to public fundings, the implementation of municipal masterplans on electric mobility and E-CS
infrastructure is increasingly proceeding. It is expected that the activities as well as the issues addressed
5 Regarding the interoperability they are different types of ECS, having different power and therefor time of charging. The
number of phases and the power in kW influences charging time. Three-phase ECS with the power of 11 kW takes for
instance up to 3 hours of charging an empty battery. Three phase ECS with the power of 22 kW takes up to 1 hour to charge
the battery. One phase – domestic ECS up to 7.4 kW take up to 4 hours. One way current on the ultrafast ECS (so called DC)
enables charging in half an hour. They are found usually by the high ways at gas stations for transit traffic.

will be consistent to a great extent. However, these concepts won´t be extensive in some areas as there are
limited means for elaborating studies and practical investigations. e-MOTICON project can provide
valuable insights to reinforce municipal concepts, adding methods of P&L (process and localization).
This methods include surveys, intercorporate mobility management programs and the acquisition of data
on mobility demands obtained by data loggers applied in conventional vehicles. In this context we
suggest to retrieve viable information from available actors, regions, sources and to set the investigation
work as broad as possible within our opportunities:
The following activity are within P&L:
o Activity 1: “Usage analysis of E-CS infrastructure”
o Activity2: “Survey on service providers, citizens and tourism organizations to improve E-CS
localization and their operation in the Rhône-Alpes region”
o Activity 3: „The role of resident companies in local e-mobility and E-CS masterplanning -
Involvement of an industrial zone in the Berchtesgaden Land as case study“
1.6.4 A tool to Increase Consciousness of the Territories on their Potentialities: the Local SWOT
Analysis
This study is performed on the results of the analysis of the actual situation. The SWOT analysis is a
tool for strategic planning for the evaluation of complex phenomena. In practice this type of study is a
logical process, originally used in business administration and then applied in other areas, allowing you
to make the information gathered around a specific theme systematic and useful.
This methodology was born in the US in the late 60s, it was originally developed for the definition of
business strategies in contexts characterized by uncertainty and strong competitiveness, and only since
the '80s was used as a support for public intervention to analyse choices alternative development
scenarios. Today the use of this method has been extended to the territorial diagnosis and evaluation of
regional programs, since the EC regulations requiring it for the assessment of plans and programs.
The SWOT analysis has become one of the most common methods for evaluating governance; it is used
to carry out the assessment of the strengths (Strengths), of the weaknesses (Weaknesses), opportunities
(Opportunities) and threats (Threats) related to financial planning, scheduling resources or any other
situation that answers the need for streamlining the decision-making processes. The first element that it
is necessary to perform a SWOT analysis consists in defining the objective to be achieved; it must be
explicit and approved by all the participants in the analysis process. The objective has to be then
endorsed during a consultation process by a wide consensus. In brief SWOT analysis leads to the
identification of strengths and weaknesses internal to the program (endogenous), and the context of
external opportunities and threats (external factors). The strengths and weaknesses are all those variables
that are an integral part of the system specifically to the analytical framework on which you can step in
and be modified through interventions and policy proposals. The opportunities and threats, in contrast,
are external variables that can, anyway, influence the system; they have to be kept under control in order
to exploit the positive events and prevent the negative ones.
The validity of the SWOT analysis, in terms of completeness, is linked in a direct manner to the quality
of the preliminary stage. Which is the main subject of the project must be thoroughly studied in order to
highlight all the features, relationships and synergies with other proposals. For this reason it is not only
necessary to know the specific issue but also the framework of the entire full context. In any case, the
lack of an appropriate number of SWOT indicators could anyway offer important possibilities for
further study on that sectors which have proved deficient in information.

The effectiveness of the analysis depends on the possibility to carry out a cross-reading of the identified
main project elements; to make an easier reading, analysis results are presented as summary form in a
diagram. It seeks, therefore, to bring out the elements able to promote or hinder the achievement of the
objectives. The final result of this activity is then a matrix, organized into four sections containing the
critical elements of the intervention and of the territory.
1.6.4.1 How e-MOTICON approach to local SWOT
The eMOTICON’s SWOT analysis has been developed through a participatory approach, which means
that a proposed conceptual framework has been discussed with all partner regions to integrate their
experiences and interests. The final results is therefore influenced by the context and the needs of the
partner regions.
The project’s SWOT definition had the following sequential phases:
• SWOT topics drawing up draft
The activity was based in a first phase on the drafting of plausible topics, derived from similar other
Interreg projects, taken as models (eg. Project REZIPE).
• SWOT topics draft proposing to all PPs by survey
The activity involved the submission of a questionnaire to all project partners through the application
SurveyMonkey, the assessment of individual draft of the topic with a score from 1 (lowest in liking) to 5
(highest in liking) and collection of comments in no particular order. Survey results are exposed in
following figure.

1.6.5 A tool to gain the objectives: Action
For the Regional Action Plan, e-MOTICON partnership agree with the following definition for “action”:
Action means: activities, projects, political actions taken in the short, medium or long term to promote
electric mobility and recharging infrastructure in the territories
The proposed procedure for getting a rank and a prioritization of action gets four steps:
• Area objectives definition
• Definition of the most effective action to get the objectives: the strategic objectives are translated
into strategic actions that bring to the objective achievement.
• Identification of common KPI (for all the Alpine Space) for describing monitoring, evaluation
and communication of actions;
• Action ranking & prioritization; the action list needs a prioritization. e-MOTICON proposes a
Strategic Action Prioritization scheme based on participation-based governance models. The technical
tool proposed for managing the multi objective complex theme is Multi-criteria analysis (MCA). MCA
can manage and translate in operative words the relevance that the Region defines for each action.
1.7 Coherences
1.7.1 Coherences with other competent authorities policies
e-MOTICON Project checks suggests the RAPs to support Regional and local Public Administrations in
their planning and developing duty. These RAPs are developed in coherence with the other
supraregional vision and policies.
1.7.1.1 Coherences with European rules and vision on transport, energy & environment
▪ Paris agreement: (The Paris Agreement commits the countries to maintain the temperature rise
below 2 ° C and, if possible, below 1.5 ° C compared to pre-industrial levels. The Agreement
was signed by Italy, together to 177 Countries, 21 April 2016)
▪ Climate and Energy Package 20306 (it foresees a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
compared to 1990. This target means a 43% reduction in emissions by 43% compared to 2005
for the sectors involved in the so-called Emissions Trading System (ETS) and a reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions 30%, as compared to 2005, for non-ETS sectors, such as transport.)
▪ Effort Sharing, COM(2016) 482 final, July 20th 2016 (The European target has been declined
at national level by the proposal of the "Effort Sharing" Regulation of the European
Commission, currently being negotiated, which assigns Italy a target of reducing emissions of
non-ETS sectors by 33% compared to 2005)
▪ European Directive 2009/28/EC (forces Member States to promote the use of energy from
renewable sources. Specifically, it defines the commitmens for each Member State to ensure that
its share of renewable energy sources on gross final energy consumption in 2020 is at least equal

to its national general target for the share of renewable energy sources for that year. These
compulsory national targets are consistent with the objective of at least 20% of energy from
renewable sources in the gross final energy consumption of the Community in 2020. And with
the aim to achieve these objectives more easily, each Member State is required to promote and
encourage energy efficiency and energy saving. The Directive was transposed into Italy by
Legislative Decree No 28 of 3 March 2011, in particular Title V, Chapter IV, the support
schemes for the use of renewable energy sources in transport and in Title VII the criteria for
biofuels sustainability and bio-liquids.)
▪ Regulations 510/2011 and 333/2014 on CO2 emissions (European regulations impose
progressively more severe limits on CO2 emissions. In particular, Regulations 510/2011 and
333/2014 define respectively the average fleet target for new light commercial vehicles, equal to
175 gCO2 / km by 2017 and 147 gCO2 / km by 2020, and for new passenger cars, equal to 95
gCO2 / km by 2021. The Commission is also committed to finalize a strategy aimed at reducing
emissions from trucks, buses and coaches before 2030).
▪ World Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (The European Commission will introduce
a stricter procedure for the certification of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Starting
from September 1, 2017, the WLTP (World Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure)
procedure will be introduced, which will require stricter and realistic laboratory tests (the NEDC
cycle will be replaced by the WLTC cycle) and will be completed by roadside testing (RDE -
Real Driving Emissions) carried out using PEMS (Portable Emission Measurement System)
systems. The aim is to drastically reduce the gap between CO2 emissions, consumption and
emissions of pollutants (NOx in the first place) detected according to the current vehicle type
approval procedures and those actually issued in the roadside guidance. It should be noted that a
more severe and more representative evaluation process of actual use will also be used for
electric vehicles, with the application of new approval cycles and attention also to the
consumption of auxiliary devices such as air conditioning.)
▪ White Paper 2011 on Transport (The White Paper on Transport sets up objectives and
measures for an efficient transport system, respecting economic, social and environmental needs.
In particular, in the 2011 White Paper, the user is at the center of transport policy and targets
include increasing road safety levels (eg through harmonization of sanctions and the use of
innovative technology systems), increase awareness among users of transport costs (for example
through a policy of charging for the use of infrastructures), the dissemination of practices such as
intermodality of passenger transport and rationalization of urban transport (eg differentiating
energy sources, stimulating transport demand by experimenting and disseminating examples of
good practice).
▪ Green Paper on urban mobility, 2007: The 2007 Green Paper reflects on the main problems of
European cities. The report, published by the European Commission, is a collection of
reflections aimed at stimulating a public debate on the most critical issues in urban areas: smooth
traffic in cities, city cleanliness, smarter, more secure and affordable urban transport.

and mitigate the environmental impact of transport. At national level, the long-term strategic
objective is to provide support for the rational use of all alternative fuels while maintaining the
neutrality criterion and the search for optimal technical solutions and incentives such as
modalities and in time reduction of emissions in the industry. Alternative fuels are fuels or
sources of energy that may work in substitution (including partial, as in the case of hybrid
vehicles) of fossil fuel sources in the supply of energy for transport: electricity, hydrogen,
biofuels, synthetic fuels and paraffinic, natural gas (including bio methane) in compressed form
(GNC) and liquefied (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Nowadays different types of
national implementation processes of AFID are operating in the AS region:
Some countries, like Italy and Slovenia have only in progress an official AFID transposition,
o In Italy the process is under the Transport & Infrastructure Ministry supervision, but no
official documents are yet available. The first version of the National Plan for
Infrastructure for Recharging Electric Vehicle (PNIRE), now operating in Italy, has no
references to the AFID because it was written before the AFID official release. The
updated version 2015 of PNIRE has reference to the AFID but is still in progress.
Regional and local administrators are responsible for its implementation
o Market development strategy for the establishment of appropriate infrastructure related to
alternative fuels in the transport sector in the Republic of Slovenia was adopted in 2017,
and the Transport Development Strategy of the Republic of Slovenia is now operating.
This strategic document defines future measures on the area of road, railway, air and
maritime transport, including public transport and measures for obtaining sustainable
mobility. General objectives are: to reduce energy use, reduce the cost of users and
managers, reduce the burden on the environment. Specific objectives are: to provide
infrastructure for alternative fuel. Integrated transport strategy for the main Municipality
is under preparation, too.
Other countries, as Austria France and Germany, have a more mature transposition
process:
o In Austria the implementation is successfully proceeding. The transport policy of Austria
has since many years the objective to make mobility more environmentally sustainable.
Planning for multi-level implementation, which in Austria is led by the Transport
Ministry, This approach essentially relies on participatory governance. “Tools” for AFID
implementation (including an Austrian-wide online consultation as well as workshops)
are used to build stakes at different governance levels – often in order to overcome
existing political deadlocks The consultation of all relevant stakeholders, like other
responsible ministries, federal states (Länder) and municipalities as well as vehicle
industry, fuel and electricity suppliers is a condition for successful solutions based on the
consultation process. The results of all workshops will be considered in national strategy
plan for the implementation of the AFID. In addition to the elaboration of the national
strategy plan also the adoption of national legislation is a main task.
o In Germany the implementation is successfully operating. The Federal Ministry of
Transport, mobility and fuel strategy sector is responsible for transposing AFID at
National level. Responsible for transposing AFID at Regional level are the Lander
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Media, Energy and Transport.
o In France the recent national law (LTECV august 2015) is implementing AFID. It sets
ambitious targets to further the deployment of charging infrastructure for electric and
hybrid vehicles (target values by 2030: seven million E-CS –private/public-installed). It
European Regional Development Fund
Report
Pag. 22/202
also imposes to certain types of professionals (taxis, car rental companies, public
transport...) to acquire greenhouse gases low-emission vehicles (target values by 2030: 2
millions EV).
Other country, as Switzerland, does not need a transposition process. Anyway, this country
adopted a Federal Masterplan for the development of e-mobility. The cantons should adopt
regional masterplan. Municipalities are responsible to the local implementation. Due to the
fast evolution of the technical context, Municipalities are in some case more involved than
cantons.
▪ Constant development of new rules and reports:
o “Towards clean and smart mobility” EEA Signals 2016

the transport sector is one of the key points in the a more environmentally friendly and
energy-efficient economy. Again, the intention is to reduce carbon emissions in the
transport sector by 60% compared to 1990, which accounts for about a quarter of the
world's emissions in European space.)

In Gorenjska the strategic approach for the planning of an interoperable infrastructure for electric
vehicle is defined in the following strategic objectives.
European Regional Development Fund
Report
Pag. 93/202
Table 13: Strategic objectives
Strategic Objective SO Description
1. Provide support to the local PA
(municipalities) in the matters of e-
mobility
SORA, RAGOR and BSC, Ltd., Kranj support
Municipalities by preparation, coordination and in
some cases also implementation of projects connected
to e-mobility. RDA of Gorenjska represents
municipalities in communication with the national
public administrative authorities (e.g. Agreement for
the development of regions, coordinating LEAG
project applications and implementation, preparation,
submission and implementation of international
projects, preparation of Regional Development Plan
etc.).
2. Achieve complete interoperability of
electric charging services
RDA of Gorenjska BSC, Ltd, Kranj in cooperation
with operator of regional E-CS and electro distributer
are promoting and supporting by concrete actions the
increase in number of interoperable E-CS and growing
of the interoperable network. Municipalities are
cooperating with electro distributers and operators of
E-CS networks supporting the interoperability of
electric charging services, by facilitating national
subventions of Eco Fund investing in E-CS equipment
and investing with their own funds in the
infrastructural installation of the E-CS, following the
EU technical standards of e-charging infrastructure.
3. Reach an adequate territorial coverage
for electric charging services
Mapping locations - parking spaces for future e-
charging stations. Strategically planning with
corresponding documentation, parking surfaces that
meet the criteria for setting up e-charging stations
(accessibility, frequency, closeness of public
institutions, proximity to regional and motorway
connections, and other sustainable forms of public
transport) and integrating these plans into energy
concepts. Homogeneous diffusion of E-CS networks
throughout Gorenjska region.
4. Make the information on the charging
network available to regional and
transnational users
Updating regional E-HUB, support the idea on national
informational platform for E-CS infrastructure,
provision the local information of newly established E-
CS by municipalities of regional electro distributer.
5. Facilitate contacts between PAs and
stakeholders (companies, private
investors, private citizens, ...)
Cooperation with electricity providers, private
investors in E-CS infrastructure, E-CS operators,
public transport concessioners, e-car sharing
companies and supporting them with public space
locations and infrastructural investments.
6. Integrate public transport and private Promoting the purchase of electric buses for public

transport transport, purchase of business e-vehicles and setting
up E-CS for their charging on the dedicated locations,
preferably near the P&R parking lots with established
E-CS infrastructure, business zones and at and around
the airport.
2. E-mobility promotion Active operation of municipalities in establishing
contacts with stakeholders (companies, private
investors, individuals ...) who want to obtain
information on e-mobility in the local area and the role
of municipalities as promoters of e-mobility
(mainstreaming the topic in the European Mobility
Week, raising awareness public ...)
3.6 RAP actions
In Gorenjska region the Area of intervention defined by the Administration and the Strategic Objectives
for planning of an interoperable infrastructure for electric vehicle, defines the following Action.
3.6.1 Action list
The Supra regional pillars give transnational strategic guidelines to be followed on the regional level in
order to achieve balanced development in Alpine space for the e-mobility infrastructure and
management. RAP’s objectives in this case define the regional objectives for implementation of
sustainable mobility, in particular diffusion of e-mobility infrastructure and e-mobility in Gorenjska
region to define and categorize actions to be taken achieving these objectives.
Table 14: Synthesis table of strategic actions for Gorenjska Region

public parking areas
• Increase number of E-CS for e-charging
of e-vehicles for public passenger road
transport (or on alternative fuel) and e-
vehicles for business use
• Reinforce the electricity grid by
cooperation of local, national public and
private stakeholders
Strategy #4 – Adopt an
integrated, supra-
regional mapping tool Make the information on the
charging network available to
regional and transnational users
• Utilize regional RDA of Gorenjska e-
HUB platform for mapping
• Support and initiate creation of national
informational platform for e-charging
infrastructure under the management and
control of the national public body.
Strategy #5 – Empower
communication among
public authorities and
other stakeholders Promote e-mobility
• Facilitate contacts between PAs and
stakeholders (companies, private
investors, private citizens, ...)
• Municipalities acting as promoters of e-
mobility (informing users about
novelties, promotion of usage) –
utilization of e-HUB platform Strategy #6 – Guarantee
synergy among private
and public transport
Integrate public transport and
private transport

road transport, public and private
business fleets into electric ones or run
on other alternative fuels
• Provision of infrastructure for public
transport interchange, P&R systems,
business zones, airport area
3.6.2 Action prioritization
In the previous chapter the strategic objectives of Gorenjska region are translated into strategic actions
that bring to the objective achievement. But the action list needs a prioritisation. It can be derived from
the directions coming from the selected items as Area of Intervention: they translate in operative words
the relevance that the Region defines for each action.
European Regional Development Fund
Report
Pag. 96/202
e-MOTICON proposes a Strategic Action Prioritization scheme based on participation-based
governance models. The technical tool proposed for managing the multi objective complex theme is
Multi-criteria analysis.
3.6.2.1 MCA methodology
Multi-criteria analysis37,38,39, 40 is a well-known and widely used tool that gives good results in complex
spatial planning. It establishes preferences between options by reference to an explicit set of objectives
that the decision making body has identified, and for which it has established measurable criteria to
assess the extent to which the objectives have been achieved. In simple circumstances, the process of
identifying objectives and criteria may alone provide enough information for decision-makers.
However, where a level of detail broadly akin to CBA is required, MCA offers a number of ways of
aggregating the data on individual criteria to provide indicators of the overall performance of options. A
key feature of MCA is its emphasis on the judgement of the decision making team, in establishing
objectives and criteria, estimating relative importance weights and, to some extent, in judging the
contribution of each option to each performance criterion. The subjectivity that pervades this can be a
matter of concern.
MCA has many advantages over informal judgement unsupported by analysis:
• it is open and explicit
• the choice of objectives and criteria that any decision making group may make are open to
analysis and to change if they are felt to be inappropriate
• scores and weights, when used, are also explicit and are developed according to established
techniques. They can also be cross-referenced to other sources of information on relative values,
and amended if necessary
• performance measurement can be sub-contracted to experts, so need not necessarily be left in the
hands of the decision making body itself
• it can provide an important means of communication, within the decision making body and
sometimes, later, between that body and the wider community, and
• scores and weights are used, it provides an audit trail.
A standard feature of multi-criteria analysis is a performance matrix, or consequence table, in which
each row describes an option and each column describes the performance of the options against each
criterion. The individual performance assessments are often numerical, but may also be expressed as
‘bullet point’ scores, or colour coding in a basic form of MCA this performance matrix may be the final
product of the analysis. The decision makers are then left with the task of assessing the extent to which
their objectives are met by the entries in the matrix. Such intuitive processing of the data can be speedy
and effective, but it may also lead to the use of unjustified assumptions, causing incorrect ranking of
options. In analytically more sophisticated MCA techniques the information in the basic matrix is
usually converted into consistent numerical values.

The output of the MCA analysis provides a hierarchical classification of the action, that translate in
mathematical details the conceptual approach typical of the policy makers: this ranking try to summarize
which action are suitable to fulfil the objectives, considering the evaluation and the motivational issue
the Public Administrators consider as driving forces.

The regional plan will be implemented by means of local measures, guidelines and other agreements and
the proposed and included action tables presented in Appendix no5. The sources of the implementation
will include contracting parties’ national programmes of measures, joint activities and partnerships with
other organisations. Some milestones to support implementation have already been identified.
In order to be able to effectively monitor progress it is necessary to report regional implementation of
the actions set out in this Regional Action Plan.
The Regional Action Plan is an open document that will be updated according to the regional, local
needs and future national policies up to 2030 (i.e. update of the national Action programme for
alternative fuels in traffic, for the period of 2018-2020, prepared June 12th 2018).

4 COMMUNICATION STRATEGY
This chapter is providing a written reference upon which the progress may be judged. It indicates main
stakeholders and their collaboration. It identifies58:
- Clear and measurable communications objectives with evaluation
- Relevant audiences and available channels
- A plan of activities and a timetable
- Communication risks and mitigation
- Resources – financial and people.
4.1 Main regional, national and other stakeholders
Main regional stakeholders in the Gorenjska region are represented by regional development agencies,
local public authorities (i.e. municipalities, tourism institute), local economic sector and general public;
whereas national stakeholders are ministries, public agencies, NGOs and research institutes; from
economic sector auto-moto industry and producers of equipment and software for e-charging
infrastructure and supportive infrastructure, electricity providers and electricity distributers, E-CS
owners and service providers. Another segment of stakeholders are international funding institutions,
providing ERDF, CEF and other financial instruments and transnational partnership consortiums.
All mentioned stakeholder groups are important for achieving goals of this action plan, even though they
play different roles in the promotion. The communication strategy of this Action plan will focus on
public authorities in Gorenjska region – 18 municipalities, with mentioning of tourism institute
(Tourism Bohinj) and Triglav National park; regional electro distributer Gorenjske Elektrarne and
national public administration (e.g. Ministry of infrastructure).
4.2 Measurable communications objectives with evaluation
Communication objectives relate to the implementation of the Action plan in the next years. The
objectives are implementation of the set actions covering three main segments:
- Promoting e-mobility, raising awareness and changing behaviors
- Facilitating implementation of e-mobility and infrastructure
- Acquiring resources – human and financial
In the process of communicating the objectives they are: A. drivers, the people, organizations who are
initiating and promoting the actions leading to the objectives, B. influencers, who, which might not be
drivers; however they are influencing opinions and final results and C. supporters who support the
actions financially, politically or with other means.

Stakeholders who are pro e-mobility will partner in the actions. The ones who show interest however are
hesitant or opposed need to be persuaded to take action. For those who show no interest the aim is to
capture their attention. Third parties may be used to help persuade and create interest.
4.2.1 Promoting e-mobility, raising awareness and changing behaviours
Changing behaviours is a long term process initiated by raising awareness by promoting e-mobility. It
takes involvement of many different stakeholders segmenting and addressing target groups by custom
made approaches.
This Action Plan combines 2 actions for promotion of e-mobility from 4 municipalities, 4 actions from
RDA of Gorenjska, including up-keep of the e-HUB e-mobilitygorenjska.si website for the regional
promotion of e-mobility. The mentioned two actions address promotion by educating the users and
potential users of all generations, beginning with kindergartens and elementary schools. One action is
described generally and the other specifically targeting beside adults, children as well, changing
behaviors long run.
Other promotional actions not described in the main document, still being implemented are actions
initiated by Elektro Gorenjska that will keep motivating the municipalities for the investments in e-
mobility infrastructure and initiation of activities to upgrade the existing electrical grid for further
development of e-mobility infrastructure.
Gorenjske elektrarne and BSC, Ltd, Gorenjska has agreed to initiate and support the idea of a national
joint e-mobility infrastructure platform in the ownership and operation of the Ministry of infrastructure
that will nationally and internationally promote e-mobility. The Ministry will act as a driver and
influencer and the 2 mentioned organizations as supporters.
BSC, Ltd, Kranj in for the next 5 years committed to promote e-mobility by projects. Some are
supporting the diffusion of e-infrastructure and one on-going, the cooperation with the Ministry of
infrastructure for the promotion of e-vehicles and vehicles on other alternative fuels. This will be
supported by transnational European partnership network and ERDF funds. This action is supported by
1 municipality action in this document. However they are more municipalities in Gorenjska region
supporting this idea, without officially stating the action in this document.
These above mentioned actions will be a tool of persuasion for the local and other stakeholders that are
hesitant or opposed to the implementation of e-mobility and will aim to attract the indifferent
stakeholders.
Total number of promotional actions is therefore higher that described actions by municipalities. It has
to be taken into an account that the promotion of e-mobility will be initiated by the municipalities and
other regional stakeholders not contributing to this document.

4.2.2 Facilitating implementation of e-mobility and infrastructure
Facilitating implementation of e-mobility and infrastructure can be a latent way of promotion. It helps
by the first objective of raising awareness and changing behaviors. Users of e-vehicles and e-charging
infrastructure are promoters on their own, promoting by example and if properly utilizing their
experience also by their feedback on e-mobility. Potential users of e-vehicles and e-charging
infrastructure get a strong massage of the change and opportunity when seeing the set-ups of e-charging
infrastructure and e-vehicles on the road. Auto-moto industry and producers of equipment and software
for e-charging infrastructure are playing one of the mayor roles in diffusion of e-mobility. They are
responsible for provision of equipment and e-vehicles attractive by design, function, comfort, price and
availability to the customer. If one or more of this segments is unattractive other stakeholders driving
and influencing the transfer to e-mobility will have a harder job at achieving tangible results.
This Action Plan combines 7 types of actions for promotion of e-mobility by facilitating implementation
of e-mobility and infrastructure. 6 municipalities and RDA of Gorenjska committed to implement 16
actions. Beside submitted actions by regional stakeholders, GEK as operator of interoperable E-CS
network, regional electro distributer and owner of E-CS network is initiating promotion of e-mobility
infrastructure.
Actions of e-mobility implementation and infrastructure can be utilized promotionally. Every set up and
initiation of operation of E-CS, construction of P&R systems, setting up interoperable networks of E-CS
and similar actions have to be made official, accompanied by promotional activities and supported by
the Mayor of the municipality. A person within every municipal administration needs to be delegated for
the responsibility of promotional activities utilizing every opportunity and media channel (online, paper,
radio, TV, spreading a rumor, on the spot by signs …) to promote e-mobility and infrastructure. It is
advised that every event is promoted before the event happening and after the event.

4.2.3 Acquiring resources – human and financial
Every attempt of promotion depends on resources. Every stakeholder dedicated to implementing e-
mobility and dedicated infrastructure has to identify and consider, reserve available human and financial
resources to reach the objective.
Well-chosen human resources bring in the needed financial resources. Public authorities, when choosing
the right people for the promotional activities, need to be attentive to the following:
- Is the person chosen for the job interested in the topic to be covered or in the delegated task?
- How good are the communication skills of the person chosen for the job?
- What are the person’s skills and knowledge and do they fit the job requirements?
- Is a person well representing oneself?
- Is the person acceptable for the audience?
- Is a person camera shy, prepared to do the interviews if needed, have speeches …?
- Is the one a busy or a productive person?
- Can the person chosen accept constructive suggestions for improvement and is one keen to
learn?
- Is a person flexible to adjust and mitigate crises?
- What is one’s working ethic; will a person bring an added value to the promotional activities
or just do the job?
- What are the expectations?
Financial resources can be acquired by several financing instruments provided by European and national
funds. For the municipalities interested to gain financial resources for e-mobility and e-mobility
infrastructure they might already know:
- Eco Fund, Fund for climate change
- LEAG
- Cohesion funds
- Nonrefundable co-financing instrument Environmental LIFE programme
