Transport and Covid-19: responses and resources

Electromobility in Greece

ITF Meeting ITF Meeting

14:30 CET

This webinar presents results from a project supporting electromobility for Greece. The project aims to accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles and the adoption of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) by regional and municipal authorities.

By 2030, at least 30 million zero-emission cars will operate on European roads. This project aims to help Greece attain this objective, as set out in the European Commission’s Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy. Greece’s car fleet is among the oldest in Europe, with an average vehicle age of 16 years. The uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) in Greece remains very low: in 2020, EVs accounted for only 2.6% of new car sales, compared with the European Union (EU) average of 10.5%. The project reviews best practices in the EU, using ITF quantitative modelling to develop policy recommendations for accelerating EV adoption in Greece, including the expansion of charging infrastructure.

The European Union funds the work via the Technical Support Instrument in co-operation with the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Structural Reform Support. It is implemented by the International Transport Forum in collaboration with the Hellenic Ministry of Environment and Energy and the Hellenic Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. The official project title is “Recharge and Refuel: Clean, Smart and Fair Urban Mobility”.
