This book explores the potentiality and criticality of integrating Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) technologies and slow mobility. The book broadly considers the so-called e-velomobility and deals with practices, systems, and technologies of e-cycling. The advent of assisted pedaling bicycles, or e-bikes, which have a battery-powered electric motor to provide more pedaling power, has made this sustainable means of transportation even more enticing for both everyday commuters and tourists. The former can easily experiment with vehicles such as cargo bikes; the latter can ride for long hours and enjoy the countryside or even mountain trails without thorough training. In summary, e-velomobility can expand the user base, the types of vehicles, and the places where slow mobility is exercised. Such positive effects have recently been discussed, focusing especially on their technological improvements, e.g., the type of battery, the design of the bike, and the charging stations. The reflections in this volume aim to enrich this debate by considering how e-technologies can be integrated into the plan and design of a slow-mobility project both about the daily routines within an urban context as well as the tourist movements.

Rossella Moscarelli, PhD in Urban Planning, Design, and Policies, is an assistant professor at Politecnico di Milano, Department of Architecture and Urban Studies. The actual research focuses on: (1) securing soils in spatial developments, as part of the Mission A Soil Deal for Europe, within the project “SPADES - Spatial Planning and Design with Soils” (European Commission HORIZON-MISS-2023-SOIL-01); (2) the planning tools by which integrate slow and electric mobility in the local and territorial policies, within the MOST – Sustainable Mobility National Research Center (part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, funded by the European Union Next-GenerationEU).Pietro Belotti, PhD in Computer Engineering, is an associate professor at Politecnico di Milano, Dept. of Electronics, Information, and Bioengineering. His main research interests are in Optimization, specifically in: Mixed integer nonlinear optimization; multi-objective mixed integer linear optimization; optimization under uncertainty; network design problems; and software packages for large-scale optimization problems. His work focuses on several applications, among them the theory and practice of planning electric sustainable mobility networks within the MOST project, and the operation of electricity transmission and distribution grids.Luca Pirolo, Mobility Engineer, is a PhD student in Information Technologies at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering. He is now involved in the MOST—Sustainable Mobility National Research Center (part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, funded by the European Union Next-GenerationEU) project. His research focuses on optimization models and algorithms for sustainable mobility, particularly in the cycle tourism sector.
