8 Geographic and population scope: Between Galicia and the North of Portugal we can detect singularities that make such area an excellent laboratory for the European cross-border cooperation. It is the most populated border area between Spain and Portugal, where there are obvious cultural and linguistic affinities between regions. The geographical scope of the practice is the Euroregion Galicia-North of Portugal. Located in the NW of the Iberian Peninsula, it has an area of approximately 51, sq. km. (29, in Galicia and 21, in the North of Portugal). Galicia has substantial geographical and climatic differences that are structured in three main groups: GROUP I: Coastal area, characterized mainly by the Galician estuaries, with altimetry below 2 metres and mild temperatures. GROUP II: Mountain ranges of the south-central area, with elevations above 6 metres and great temperature changes. GROUP III: Interior of Galicia, with an altitude about 2 and 6 metres with intermediate rainfall and temperature contrasts The orographic aspect that Galicia presents in its interior area are low and blunt mountains, with many rivers, being the most important one the Miño river, which acts as a natural border between both countries, and the Sil river. The gentle slopes are sometimes combined with rugged hillsides, or normally soft valleys. The North of Portugal is characterized by 9 river basins and 8 mountain ranges of a height from 1,1 to 1,5 metres,. The Douro river is the limit of the Euroregion. Its climatology is similar to Galicia: Atlantic climate, rainy and with mild temperatures. In 211, its total population was 6,541,664 inhabitants with an approximate density of inhabitants/km 2.

10 Figure2. Main cities of the Euroregion. (Source: Atlas básico do Eixo Atlántico) From the point of view of the urban growth, both Galicia and the North of Portugal have a polycentric urban territorial organization, given by an alternation in the weight of the cities in both regions throughout history. Nowadays, the main hubs of concentration are in the Galician cities of Vigo and A Coruña (placed in the South and North of Galicia) and in Porto in the North of Portugal. Although there are other cities that are experiencing significant growth, the industrialization and the main economic sectors are placed in Vigo, A Coruña, Porto and Santiago de Compostela, the capital city of Galicia. On the other hand, there is an important rural population in both regions, characterized by a strong geographic dispersion, with a notable affluence of populations under 2, inhabitants. In Galicia, about 5% of the population lives in cities, being even a lower percentage in North of Portugal. This fact makes it difficult and costly the provision of services and the improvement of infrastructures. It is also remarkable the absence of large urban centres in the border area of Galicia and Portugal. Between Vigo and Viana do Castelo there is a distance over 1 Km. Pag. 1

11 Area of study. Zoning: The area of study of the practice is located in the main roads connecting between Vigo and Porto (AP9 and A55 in Spain, A3 in Portugal). In this area has been developed the electric mobility corridor Vigo-Porto, covering about 15 km and being the first European cross-border interurban corridor of electric mobility. The corridor connects the main populations and points of interest located between Vigo and Porto, taking as main points both cities, because of their population density, industrial and economic importance and especially for being the main points of concentration of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. In the following map it can be consulted the current state of the electric mobility corridor. It is also planned to complete its development through the northern coastal area of Portugal, unfolding the corridor through the main infrastructures of the North of Portugal. Figure 3. Electric Mobility Corridor Vigo-Porto Pag. 11

12 Socioeconomic characteristics: In 212 we are going through a period of economic crisis that began in 27 so we are facing significant adjustments aimed towards the expected economic recovery. With regard to Spain and Portugal, both the wealth level and the size of the GDP have note evolved positively in the ranking of the developed countries, being the problem even more pronounced in the case of Portugal. The weak economic growth in Spain and Portugal under the Euro zone average has been characterized by a continuous decline in productivity, a rising unemployment and a significant external deficit.

Evolution of GDP per capita in million between 26 and 28 (Source: Anuario Estadístico Galicia Norte de Portugal, 21. Xunta de Galicia) The main population centres of the corridor are Vigo, Porto and Braga. Specially, Vigo and Porto are the largest cities of the corridor and concentrate the economical, industrial and innovative activity, being competitive centres of great interest for electric mobility, since in both cities are also industrial and innovative concentrations( universities, research centres) relevant to the automotive industry, transport and mobility. Socioeconomic data of Vigo and Porto are shown as major centres of the corridor. Pag. 12

Unemployment Rate Use of private vehicles. Motorisation. Analysis of the mobility: The main network of road transport on roads and highways of Galicia nd the North of Portugal is characterized by the existing connections in the coastline axis communicating Ferrol and A Coruña with Vigo, through Santiago de Compostela and Pontevedra and linking to Viana do Castelo, Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia, trough Braga and Guimarães. Galicia has a road network which extends across the 17,55 km, whose management is shared between the National State (13.5%), the Xunta de Galicia (3.1%) and the Provincial Governments (56.4%). If we add the 62, km that are managed by municipalities, the amount almost double the national average of kilometers per inhabitant and surface. Pag. 13

(Fuente: Plan Director de Estradas de Galicia) About the relation of Galicia with the North of Portugal, and in spite of the construction of new infrastructures, it still exists a clear imbalance between the coastal area (which is better articulated) and the interior area, where its rugged topography makes such connection more difficult. The roads of the North of Portugal, with an extension of 6,12 km are managed by the State (6%, 3,78 km) and the Municipalities (4%, 2,52 km). Pag. 14

The airports of Lavacolla in Santiago de Compostela, Peinador in Vigo and Alvedro in A Coruña form the network of airport infrastructures in Galicia. In the case of the North of Portugal, the main airport is the Francisco Sá Carneiro in Porto, which is complmented with the aerodromes of Bragança and Vla Real. Pag. 16

17 The flow of passengers towards the main airports of the 2 regions (Santiago de Compostela and Porto) is another of the important factors involved in the mobility by road between Galicia and North of Portugal, especially since in the Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport operate several low cost airlines that make it more economically attractive.

18 On the other hand, we must note that there are (between Spain and Portugal) 6 transit areas through paved roads of municipal, provincial, regional or state competence with a total traffic of 74, vehicles per day. 63,5 of them corresponding to the definition of light vehicles, 1,4 to heavy vehicles (which in turn are divided into 1,1 trucks and 3 buses). However, when analyzing the distribution of these flows in the different crossing boarders, we can distinguish a series of key positions for people and goods that correspond to areas particularly interesting from the point of view of the economic, social and territorial cohesion. Focusing on the border between Galicia and Portugal, it should be noted that such border is the way with the greatest flow of people across the border between Spain and Portugal, and the one that presents a major increase in travelers in the last decade.

Monitoring and results: The main results of the project are framed in the technical activities, especially related to the Observatory for the Electric Mobility of the Euroregion Galicia-North of Portugal, with the preparation of the electric mobility corridor and with the development and evaluation of the pilot tests. So, for instance, the Observatory for the Electric Mobility has generated so far: 15 periodic newsletters. 15 specific reports related to critical aspects of electric mobility.. Identification of the main stakeholders of electric mobility of the Euroregion. Meanwhile, the technical development of the electric mobility system of the Euroregion has allowed both to generate relevant technological reports and to develop the data acquisition systems of the vehicle and driver and of monitoring for Pag. 2

21 pilot testing. On the other hand, one of the most remarkable results of the project is the development of a specific methodology for the evaluation of the user s experience in pilot tests with electric vehicles. Finally. The development of the pilot test will also enable the evaluation of the main technical and socioeconomic barriers for the effective deployment of the electric mobility, as well as the generation of recommendations for an effective implementation of the electric mobility in the Euroregion. Critical aspects of the electric mobility The different studies and tests performed so far have made it possible to identify some of the most critical aspects of the electric mobility, especially considering the social acceptance of electric vehicles and the integration of this kind of mobility in the transport system of the Euroregion. The most critical parameters are: Autonomy of vehicles: from the point of view of vehicle technology, the autonomy of the existing electric models represents a major change compared to internal combustion vehicles with significantly higher autonomy between recharges. This is, in general, the main barrier that users see on the electric vehicle. Recharging infrastructure: In relation to the autonomy of the vehicles, there is a lack of recharging infrastructures and visibility of the existing ones, especially when compared with the number and visibility of conventional service stations. Noise: from the point of view of security, one of the most important factors is the absence of noise in electric vehicles versus the custom of vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists to listen to the vehicles. There are numerous research projects to develop new warning technologies to alert the vulnerable user to not limit the advantage of electric mobilityto decrease noise pollution in cities. Price: From the point of view of the potential buyer, the price of the commercial electric, the price of the commercial electric vehicles is another barrier because it is perceived as significantly higher than the price of the internal combustion vehicles in the same segment. However, the price is highly variable, as it depends on the demand and other incentives; in additionnew personal mobility models are promoted, as it is for example the car sharing of electric vehicles, distributing the price of the vehicle between the different drivers using it.

22 ANNEX I: ELECTRIC MOBILITY TYPE OF VEHICLE: The MOBI2GRID project uses two types of electric vehicles, particularly: NISSAN LEAF. CITROËN C-ZERO. Figure 9. Vehicles used in the project TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLES. PERFORMANCE: Both vehicles can be found since 211 in the market and cover a wide range of vehicle segments. The Citroën C-Zero is a small utilitarian, with less autonomy but responding to the needs of the urban mobility. On the other hand, the Nissan Leaf is the first commercial electric vehicle that tries to cover the needs of the interurban mobility, with a bigger quality in comfort, safety and greater autonomy.

23 ENERGY NEEDS. SUPPLY MODALITIES: The electric mobility corridor aims to cover the main roads connecting the cities of Vigo and Porto, the main connecting links in the Euroregion as they are two most populated cities on both sides of the border and the more competitive areas that attract industry and investments. Thus, it is intended that the corridor provides interurban service in the main routes, developed through AP9 and A55 in Galicia, and the A3, A28 and N13 in Portugal. Currently, the electric mobility corridor covers the main urban centres between Vigo and Porto along the AP9, A55 and the Portuguese A3, which is historically the Portuguese highway of the Euroregion with the major cross-border traffic. For example, the centre of the city of Vigo has more than 1 charging points, which are complemented with charging points in the University and 3 fast charging points in Peinador s airport. In addition, it is foreseen that for the following months the installation of some fast charging points in the Portuguese side, in Valença, Ponte de Lima and Porto, ensuring the supply of charging services to the users of the corridor Vigo- Porto, as it is currently defined. Figure 1. Existing charging points of the MOBI.E grid between Vigo and Porto (Source: MOBI.E) Pag. 23

24 ENERGY SOURCES: The electric mobility is one of the main opportunities to foster the massive use of renewable energies for electricity generation. In particular, the Euroregion Galicia-North of Portugal has a great potential for the generation and consumption of renewable energies. To illustrate that, it is shown the evolution of electricity generation sources in Galicia. Chart 1. Structure of the Electric Generation in Galicia (%). (Source: INEGA) Pag. 24
