PLEASEM: A Tool to Measure PLace-based Estimated Advantages of Shared Electric Mobility

Car sharing reduces private vehicle mileage and ownership, particularly if combined with electrification, and can thus reduce carbon emissions from local transport. Various studies have demonstrated this through data from existing car club operations in mainly urban areas, but there is a lack of evidence from other geographies. We argue that emissions reductions and other benefits are place-specific and use open data to demonstrate the benefits that may accrue outside urban areas. We show this in an open-source dashboard that aims to help local policymakers benchmark the potential benefits of an electric car club in their area.
