APPLICATION OF SOCIAL LCA TO A PILOT PROJECT MONITORING THE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

In recent years, the issue of mobility has taken on a prominent position in the international debate. The movement of people and goods is essential to meet the needs of the community, but the progressive growth of the propensity to move involves a series of negative effects from an economic, social and environmental point of view. For this reason, one of the main tools for improving the environmental and energy efficiency of transport is the electrification of vehicles. The growth of the electric mobility market does not depend exclusively on the development of electric vehicles but involves an investment and a management component that refer to the installation of recharging points at specific stations and related maintenance. This paper is based on BaxEnergy Italia S.r.l., a technological company, which evaluated, through the S-LCA, the social and socio-economic aspects of the software solution designed and developed to monitor the functioning of public charging infrastructures for electric vehicles.
