Similar subsidies can also be extended to companies and to cross-border commuters, after
deducting any similar benefit they may receive in the country of residence. Subsidies can
include a reduction or elimination of purchase tax, vehicle tax, and/or a subsidy for the
purchase. Consideration should also be given to a tax favoring emission-free vehicles. This
system can be complemented by a per-usage tax.
1.4.2 Incentives for EV Infrastructure.
In general, subsidies for private charging infrastructure are not needed, but they could support
and encourage smart grid readiness:
An additional incentive of 500 euros could be provided for private charging points if they
are “smart grid ready” and controllable by the grid operator. These charging points
should be capable of reacting to price fluctuations and to Big Data coming from the
energy management system of the house / company.
An incentive could also be provided if a Photo Voltaic system is installed close to a
charging point is powerful enough to at least meet the electricity demand of the EV.
1.5 Educational
1.5.1 Public Information campaign for EVs.
A public information campaign for EVs is planned for the beginning of 2017 when the new
incentive program starts and the first stations of the public charging infrastructure are erected.
The campaign should continue (with updates depending on the evolution of the market) until
the goals are reached. The campaign should aim to eliminate misconceptions about EVs (i.e.
majority of people do not need high range) and to show the positive aspects of e-mobility in
terms of pollution avoidance, noise reduction, and health. A campaign should also be run to
educate people on when and how to use intelligent recharging.
2 Shared Transport in a Multimodal Environment: the Rise of the Commons
One of the main phenomena that characterize the Sharing Economy in the Third Industrial
Revolution is the rediscovery of the commons as a form of governance. The success of the
commons resides in the fact that nobody knows how to administer a community better than its
own members. The rise of the commons presents a great potential in the transport fields,
notably in transport logistics which is the core of the economic system of a community.
