Abstract: The adoption rate of Electric Vehicles (EV's) is influenced by a considerable number of factors on both local and national levels. Most of the research aimed at understanding under what conditions that adoption thrives focuses on either level. There is also relatively little attention for the configurational nature of its uptake. We present a Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) of e-mobility policies in 15 European cities in order to identify policy configurations on the national and local, urban level that lead to favorable results, i.e. the successful promotion and consequent adoption of EV's.
