The evolution of smart and disruptive technologies has opened the way for cities to become smarter. And E-Mobility (electro mobility) comes the first place as every city planner seeks to improve the quality, health, and prosperity of their city. In this way, electric vehicles (EVs) deliver improvements like improved air quality and reduced noise pollution.

Making a city smart, pollution is at very high levels of concern and the only remedy is the use of various green energy techniques efficiently. This will help in enhancing the efficiency of an electric vehicle and with the large-scale deployment of electric automotive technologies, the release of greenhouse gases can be lessened, and energy use can be more efficient.

The full deployment of electric vehicles in future smart cities will call for the development of new Vehicle-to-Grid applications, allowing the grid operators and end-users to dynamically interact with the vehicles. E-Mobility is beneficial to all parties, including local authorities, vehicle manufacturers, motorists, and the environment as well.

What Exactly E-Mobility Is?

Today, the mobility industry is experiencing a fundamental transformation as the advent of mobility services continues growing. These progressions include alternative powertrains, connected and self-driving vehicles, on-demand mobility services, among others. This transformation is largely driven by diesel crisis, pollution, climate and several environmental issues and urbanization. And these issues pave the way towards E-Mobility that involves the use of fully electric, plug-in hybrid and hydrogen-fuelled vehicles.

In this context, the world recently has seen the movement within the autonomous vehicles as many countries are planning to deploy it on roads by 2021-2022. Besides the automotive sector, E-Mobility also covers drones and unmanned aerial vehicles, electric hoverboards, electric ships and oil tankers, and electric vehicles - buses, cars, vans, bikes, and scooters.

Benefits of E-Mobility for Smart Cities 

The development of mobility-as-a-service and an increase in the number of autonomous vehicles will significantly transform the urban mobility patterns, reducing transport costs, improving traffic congestion and safety, and repurposing urban spaces.

The use of electro vehicles offers a range of benefits and the major one is that they operate with almost no noise. This will enable them to be used even during quiet times such as nights without breaking any restrictions. They are also apt to drive in off-peak hours when the roads are quieter busy with deliveries and several other duties.

Electric vehicles’ zero exhaust gases emission meet the ideology of no fuel, no emissions. And if more customers will purchase EVs rather than ICE vehicles air quality, inhabitants' health, and living standard will ultimately improve, leading the city towards smarter.
