A significantly improved charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in both inland and urban areas in the region. This increases accessibility and freedom of choice for northern Sweden’s inhabitants and entrepreneurs to drive vehicles on renewable electricity. The project is expected to increase the efficiency of energy consumption in vehicles by 7900 MWh during the project and increase the share of renewable energy by 1980 kWh. This results in a reduction of nearly 1 900 tonnes of carbon dioxide. The project participants from the main target group (municipalities, energy companies, real estate companies, shops, petrol stations) can offer added value to their customers/inhabitants. Through collaboration in the project, knowledge will be transferred between the parties so that each solution is as good as possible. By thinking “elegest” (normcritical approach) during the project, new thinking, improved, solutions will be developed. A basic structure of charging infrastructure and dissemination of the project results will make the electric car visible as an alternative to petrol and diesel-powered cars. Overall objectives: The overall goal of the project is to increase the use of renewable energy in both the public and private sectors, i.e. electricity from northern Sweden, by replacing fossil fuels with electricity. Project objectives: * Increased use of renewable electricity: 1980 MWh. * Energy efficiency in the automotive sector: about 7900 MWh. Sub-targets: * 5 fast chargers * 16 semi-fast chargers * 4 normal chargers/slow chargers * 2 bus chargers The subgoals create a base for an increase in local and regional fleets of electric vehicles by connecting the first skeleton of charging infrastructure along the transport paths in Norrbotten and Västerbotten. This allows electric car users to move all over the region. Horizontal targets: * The entire project is environmental-oriented, and in addition to streamlining vehicles and increasing the share of renewable energy, the project will also improve urban air through reduced nitrogen oxide and particle emissions. Emissions of carbon dioxide will be reduced by nearly 1900 tonnes during the project period. * Consciousness of the importance of norm critical thinking when placing and using the poles must have been clarified by all collaboration partners.
