N2 - Whether or not the introduction of electric vehicles is sustainable in megacities depends on many local conditions such as energy mix, climate and traffic flow. The Electromobility Potential Index (EMPI) is an innovative tool to evaluate each city beforehand. The methodology and structure of this index has an approach that is universally applicable. This work contains the definition of the necessary criteria as well as the evaluation process to analyze the sustainability holistically. A total of 47 worldwide cities, including 21 megacities, are evaluated. The results, which will be presented in this article, give a deep insight of the potential and effects of the introduction of electric vehicles in the cities considered and may help automakers and governments make the right decisions in order to realize sustainable solutions for individual mobility in megacities.
