Users' Socio-economic Factors to Choose Electromobility for Future Smart Cities

Recently, governments worldwide have sought solutions on how to lower carbon emissions. One of the more preferable options is the daily use of electromobility for various types of transportation. Clearly, reforming the different kinds of urban mobility is a far from simple task for policymakers; and from the perspective of users, there are many socioeconomic factors that are responsible. A preliminary literature search was conducted into the issues related to environmental protection, consumer awareness and knowledge of e-mobility, and purchasing behaviour. We have focused on these factors to take advantage of the usefulness of electromobility and provide a holistic overview, which will ultimately be the impetus for developing future smart cities. The study results may be a good base from which to build future discussions regarding the need for bottom-up analysis of e-mobility demand and standardisation, whilst taking into consideration the interests of various communities, including individual users, policymakers, and other industry-related stakeholders.
