In a perspective in the journal npj Sustainable Mobility and Transport, SEI researchers define the concept of charging poverty and suggest research areas to fill knowledge gaps, to avoid a barrier to electrified mobility.
The authors define “charging poverty” as the inability to afford or access sufficient, reliable, and socially inclusive electric vehicle charging. They develop a conceptual framework that structures recurring constraints into five dimensions: economic, spatial, functional, temporal, and digital, illustrated across a typology of users and associated indicators. They also propose a research agenda and policy responses to help identify, monitor, and address charging inequalities as transport electrification expands.
One-SEI program / SEI advances fair, inclusive, and low-emission transport solutions worldwide, bridging global insights with local action for a just mobility transition.
Journal article / This study offers a methodological contribution to improving the assessment of critical raw materials, with relevance for both researchers and policymakers.
Journal article / Researchers will conduct a review that is global in scope, with the aim to inform Swedish decision making on hydropower.
Perspective / As data centres expand across northern Sweden, Jenny von Platten asks who the country's energy is actually for.
