Abstract
Electromobility is a key direction in the development of sustainable transport. The aim of the study was to determine its level of development and to identify and assess factors associated with the perception of electromobility among residents of the Lubusz Voivodeship. Additionally, an attempt was made to identify user segments with differing perceptions of this phenomenon. The analysis covered the years 2010–June 2026, with a survey conducted at the turn of 2025/2026. The level of electromobility development was assessed based on quantitative indicators, while resident opinions were collected via a survey. Linear regression and cluster segmentation were used to analyze the data. Relationships between variables were examined, focusing on factors associated with the price acceptance of electric vehicles. The regression results indicated that, of the eight predictors included in the model, only four—infrastructure quality, charging time, vehicle range, and environmental awareness—exhibited statistically significant associations with price acceptance. Cluster analysis allowed for the identification of diverse user segments with different preferences, motivations, and barriers related to electromobility. The results can form the basis for designing public policies, marketing strategies, and investment activities in the area of sustainable transport.
