Electric mobility in Europe: A comprehensive review of motivators and barriers in decision making processes

---

European Union’s (EU) long-term objective of achieving a competitive low carbon economy is
mainly based on enabling environmentally sustainable investments, particularly in terms of decreasing
energy consumption in buildings, transition to electric vehicles, and developing smart
electricity networks, while promoting renewable energy use in order to reduce greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions by at least 80% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. Since, transport is one of the
main sector responsible for EU’s emissions; diffusion of Electric Vehicles (EVs) could allow immense
reduction. Therefore, since the announcement of 2050 Roadmap in 2009, there has been a
great increase in studies exploring the viability of transition to e-mobility in a Europe-wide
context, identifying common factors and variables. However, it is usually not that straightforward
when decision makers seek to transform these variables into policy implications that will
actually help to achieve the EU goals on energy transition. At this point, the motivators and
barriers are of utmost importance. Accordingly, this study is based on an extensive and up-to-date
review of the existing literature on e-mobility in Europe, with the main aim of identifying and
mapping the motivators and barriers for the diffusion of electric mobility through three levels of
decision-making: Formal Social Units, Collective Decision-Making Units, and Individual Units.
Results of the analysis identifies that the main barriers are lack of charging infrastructure; economic
restrictions and cost concerns; technical and operational restrictions; lack of trust; information
and knowledge; limited supply of electricity and raw materials; and practicability
concerns. Thus, key motivators appear to be environmental, economic and technical benefits
associated with EVs, as well as personal and demographic factors.
