Comparative analysis of the development of electromobility strategies in selected cities in Poland

Abstract

PURPOSE: The aim of the article is to assess the level of development of electromobility strategies in selected cities in Poland based on the results obtained from the expert method.

DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The article uses the method of multidimensional comparative analysis, which, based on the results of expert method research, allowed for the assessment of cities in Poland in terms of the development of electromobility strategies, understood in the work as the number of low-emission cars, i.e. electric and hybrid.

FINDINGS: Despite the turbulence in the international environment, the electric car market is constantly developing. The article contains ranking information regarding the predispositions of cities to achieve sustainable mobility in terms of implementing electromobility strategies, along with descriptions indicating the determinants of a given position.

PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The analysis carried out can provide cities and their local authorities with a ready-made solution supporting the development of electromobility strategies in the form of a key set of indicators for sustainable urban mobility along with the desired direction of their development. In addition, the article contains ranking information on the management of sustainable urban mobility in the aspect of implementing electromobility strategies in the largest Polish cities, along with an analysis of the reasons for taking a specific place in the ranking, which may influence the change of electromobility strategies in these cities.

ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Taking into account the current stage of development of electromobility in Poland, attention should be paid to the lack of comprehensive analyzes of the impact of the phenomenon in question on this area.
