Electric vehicles are seen as a sustainable alternative in the current fight against increasing pollution worldwide. However, they are still seeing a limited spread among drivers and one of the challenges is to deepen the knowledge about the users' perceptions of this innovative means of transport. The current paper presents the work done in this framework by creating two Discrete Choice Experiments. The first one investigates aspects related to car ownership characteristics and performances, whereas the second one focuses on the features of the charging infrastructure. We describe the whole process that guided us to the current final version of these experiments. This includes the preliminary stage of a literature review and a productive discussion with stakeholders in the project framework arriving at the spread of questionnaires in two different Pilots. The current work stresses the need for all these passages to propose reliable experiments that could get new insights on the users' perception of electric vehicles.

Having an urban modal share that favours the most sustainable mobility forms does not exclusively depend on the infrastructural assets (e.g. bicycle lanes) and the mere existence of mobility services (e.g. sharing mobility services) in a city. In recent years, decision-makers are paying more attention to some intangible aspects such as creating awareness of existing public transport (PT) offers and using different types of nudges to induce a mobility behaviour change. Therefore, this paper attempts to answer the following questions: To what extent and how are awareness and knowledge effective motivators to change habits? What type of incentives can be used to bring about a behaviour change? or rather: which nudge levers can be leveraged to bring about a mobility behaviour change? The authors will illustrate the concepts of behaviour change and nudge and will present results from the pilot case of the Counties of FürstenfeIdbruck, Starnberg, Munich, and Dachau (with a focus on the first one) in Germany where soft measures have been tested to inform citizens about public transport availability. In the case of this pilot, the rapidly growing population has been accompanied by a significant improvement of the local public transport system but not by a corresponding rapid increase in public transport mode share.
