20.500.12556/RUL-168387 Towards sustainable cities a KPI-based method to compare cities’ performance and encourage the spread of electric cars European cities have adopted different solutions to address the challenges of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, depending on their specific characteristics and needs. The widespread adoption of effective solutions could accelerate the transition towards more sustainable urban mobility. However, as cities differ in socio-economic, infrastructural, and environmental aspects, a one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable. Currently, there is a lack of studies in the literature that identify similarities among cities to support the development of shared strategies for sustainable electric mobility. This paper contributes to filling this gap by proposing a methodology based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to classify and compare cities according to their electric vehicle infrastructure. Using quantitative data from 80 European cities across civil, social, and transport-related factors, as well as electric vehicle charging characteristics, we identified five reference city clusters. A sensitivity analysis, conducted across 30 scenarios, validated the robustness of the KPI framework. This approach provides a tool for policymakers to monitor the evolution of charging infrastructure, supporting data-driven decision-making for sustainable urban mobility. By promoting efficient and adaptable electric vehicle policies, this study aligns with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly in fostering sustainable cities and clean energy adoption. urban sustainable mobility electric cars charging infrastructures KPIs clusters robustness K-Means clustering method urbana trajnostna mobilnost električna vozila polnilna infrastruktura kazalniki gručenje robustnost metoda k-voditeljev true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-04-11 08:35:45 2025-04-11 08:35:49 2025-04-12 04:11:16 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 27 str. iss. 7, art. 3052 Vol. 17 Apr.-1 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 629.331-83 2071-1050 10.3390/su17073052 232223235 sustainability-17-03052.pdf sustainability-17-03052.pdf 1 A15ED047AFE29D12221A9FBA0A92F9B4 59cd955ebedaf2cfea60f744faae5e0a7ec26d32ebc4ac6296f6500bcd4075e3 3c2f2949-169e-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=201767 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/17/7/3052 1 1ceabae9-169e-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=201766 Fakulteta za elektrotehniko 0 0 0
