CEM - EVI Pilot City Forum 2018

Background

Noting that cities will be amongst the first movers in EV implementation, one of the main pillars of the EV30@30 Campaign has been the development of the EVI Global EV Pilot City Programme (PCP). This aims to create a global platform to facilitate communications and cooperation among leading global cities interested in stimulating and increasing the uptake of electric mobility within their jurisdictions..

The PCP was launched at the 9th meeting of the Clean Energy Ministerial on 24 May 2018. The first edition of the Pilot City Forum took place back to back with the Clean Energy Ministerial in Helsinki (Finland) on 28-29 May 2018.
