The paper analyses the relationships between electric mobility, mobility practices, socio-economical and settlement features through a multicriteria analysis for describing the contextual conditions and the propensity to EVs adoption. The empirical application in the Milan urban region offers four scenarios for identifying different intensities/modes/speeds in the diffusion of the EVs, in order to orient policy making process to support and regulate a sustainable mobility transition.

Keywords: Electric vehicles; e-transition; spatial impact; multicriteria analysis; Milan urban region.
