MEISTER aims at creating the conditions for smart e-mobility market take-up in cities, by means of developing integrated approaches, smart solutions and innovative, sustainable business models, which will be tested and validated in three urban areas in Southern, Central and Northern Europe: Malaga (Spain), Berlin (Germany), and Stockholm (Sweden).
These 3 sites are EU leaders in the field of e-mobility, have complementary contexts and share a common vision on electric vehicle deployment. The three MEISTER pilots will involve 51,500 users, 1,000 electric vehicles and 660 charging points.

BERLIN (GERMANY)
BERLIN puts emphasis on smart services for new urban planning (2,500 new apartments) in Waterkant: on-street and off-street charging infrastructure, e-car sharing services and reserved sensor-based management of e-car parking.
The pilot aims at boosting and facilitating the collaboration of charging point operators, e-mobility providers, housing companies and the city, in designing and implementing new BMs that combine parking and charging services in public and semi-public space. The objectives are:
• To optimize the use of parking spaces equipped with charging facilities.
• To offer routing services to electric vehicle parking + charging.
• To provide reservation and integrated smart billing to the electric vehicle user.
MALAGA (SPAIN)
MALAGA pilot addresses the definition, testing and validation of collaborative last mile distribution logistics with electric vehicles, prioritising 3 areas of the city:
• Malaga historic city centre.
• Carretera de Cádiz area.
• Humilladero area.
Besides innovative smart park and charge services and their interaction with the grid, another key aspect that will be developed and tested in Malaga is an e-car sharing scheme with the city council owned fleet to boost the use of the existing electric vehicles in the city council among the citizens.
STOCKHOLM (SWEDEN)
STOCKHOLM will address the fleet of private operators, working closely with home care service providers and city district offices. The aim is to develop procurement criteria which will increase electric vehicles in the private operators’ fleet. Project results will include advice, criteria and evaluation data that can also help other cities make informed choices about how to use e-mobility in delivery of vital public services.
Besides, concerning the free-floating mobility services, Stockholm aims to compile information on current rules and practice in European cities, which will inform development of guidelines and measures to reduce conflicts between services and modes, thereby facilitating synergies that reduce emissions and support sustainable mobility.
