1) The biggest lever: fewer car kilometers
Practical steps:
- bundle errands into one trip
- use transit for routine commutes
- switch short trips to walking, bike or e-bike
2) The second lever: right-sizing the car
Driving a car that is too big for your real routine is expensive and inefficient. Consider:
- a compact for city life,
- a larger vehicle only when you truly need it (trips, family logistics).
This is where flexible access helps: you can match the vehicle to the phase.
3) EVs are great if charging is solved
If you can charge at home or work, an EV can be an excellent choice. If you rely on public charging only, plan your routine carefully.
4) A realistic sustainable mobility plan
- Pick a default mode for routine days (transit + bike).
- Define the days a car adds clear value.
- Choose a mileage package that matches your actual use.
