The Accelerating Urban E-Mobility Solutions program equips policymakers with the expertise, tools, and networks needed to scale up electric mobility around the world. Blending peer-to-peer learning, expert-led webinars, immersive study visits, and participation in a vibrant community of practice, the program empowers participants to create actionable strategies to boost e-mobility adoption.
Representatives from Ministries of Transport, municipal agencies, private sector companies, and technical experts will work together to:
- Gain practical knowledge on e-mobility policies, technologies, and financing strategies, as well as expert guidance on tailoring e-mobility solutions to their local contexts.
- Identify key focus areas necessary for scaling e-mobility in their jurisdictions, including creating incentives for electric vehicle adoption, investing in charging infrastructure, and integrating e-mobility into broader urban planning initiatives.
- Develop country- and city-specific action plans to implement e-mobility solutions, fostering public-private partnerships and cross-sector collaboration.
