The Next Stop - An Online Learning Podcast from BSR Electric

As a part of the new online learning module; BSR electric has produced a first-of-a-kind podcast on understanding how user behaviors and effective incentives facilitate the implementation of e-mobility.

With a sharp rise in urbanization, our cities are getting crowded, louder, and more polluted. It has become clear that more cars are not the answer. Electric and active mobility modes might be a solution, but to implement them people have to be motivated to decrease the use of personal cars, especially ones fueled by traditional fossil fuels. This is not an easy task for decision-makers since cars have been around for a long time and have become ingrained in everyday life and culture. We interviewed external and project-related experts to get their take on this, in an attempt to demystify the various factors that come to play when implementing e-mobility.

This episode features experts from around the world like-

1. Dr. Ian Walker : Senior lecturer for psychology at the University of Bath, his research focuses particularly on the unconscious and low-awareness causes of everyday behavior like habits, the environment around us and unconscious stereotypes.
2. Petteri Nisula : Project manager at the Helsinki Environmental Service Authority (HSY), he works for the BSR electric project to promote e-bikes in the Helsinki region.
3. Jenny Kosberg Skagestad : Adviser for transport at the Environmental Foundation ZERO. Among other tasks, she's currently working on compiling modal and theme-specific recommendations for decision-makers to better implement e-mobility programs.
