The promotion of e-mobility in regional policies: the ongoing PROMETEUS project

This paper presents the rationale and the first results as regards the ongoing learning process of the PROMETEUS project, co-financed by the Interreg Europe programme. This project has the objective of promoting e-mobility by tackling the lack of availability of infrastructures and low awareness among the public through the improvement of policy instruments linked to Structural Funds. Addressing the transition to a low carbon economy in five countries (Austria, Italy, Malta, Slovakia, Spain), PROMETEUS aims at overcoming such barriers and promoting e-mobility, focusing on the integration of electric mobility in strategies/plans/programs, on the definition of incentives, on awareness raising, on research and innovation. PROMETEUS, that started in January 2017, will produce a learning process based on the identification, analysis and exchange of knowledge and practices in the field of e-mobility, in order to set up and implement an Action Plan in each partner region.
