Research conducted by the Smart City Expo World Congress in September 2024 analysed the number of electric buses and their fares, the number of electric cars, and the availability of charging points across Europe's capital cities (limited to those with complete data for all metrics). This study identified the European cities with the greenest transportation systems. London emerged as the leader with a green transportation score of 5.87, boasting 80,000 electric vehicles and over 11,000 charging stations, ensuring easy access for drivers. Following London are Amsterdam, Vienna, and Berlin. To explore the full ranking of 24 cities and understand the reasons behind their selection, please follow the attached link on the left-hand side of the platform.
