This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The city of Baia Mare has joined an international initiative to promote clean mobility in urban agglomerations. Traffic in Baia Mare has increased significantly in the past years generating high levels of pollution. The population is reluctant to changing the type of vehicles and move from diesel/petrol to other type of fuels. Therefore, the Municipality aims to encourage electric mobility by providing the required infrastructure.
The main idea is to reduce pollution in the city of Baia Mare which has a long history of toxic contamination from mining activities. The municipality is strongly committed to join the European efforts to reduce carbon emissions and provide a clean air to its inhabitants. The project is a first step in creating the infrastructure for electric vehicles in Baia Mare and other project partners.
The main Outputs:
1. Installation of 6 charging stations of 22 kW for electric vehicles in Baia Mare
2. Training in high schools regarding the sustainable use of natural resources and methods to reduce carbon emissions
The project was implemented by a consortium of partners: Ivano-Frankivsk City Council (Lead partner) and NGO "Teple Misto" from Ukraine, Municipality of Baia Mare (Romania), Town of Michalovce (Slovakia) and Municipality of Nyíregyháza (Hungary).

Resources needed
The project funds: 60.975 € (90% grant, 10% own contribution); Baia Mare municipality covered also the cost for connecting the charging stations to the grid. The project team consists of 9 persons, out of which 3 technical experts, specialized in electric mobility & exploitation of charging station.
Evidence of success
6 charging stations of 22 kw have been installed in Baia Mare, near the main administrative, cultural institutions and shopping centers. In the first 3 months from the commissioning of the charging stations, 1000 cars used the facilities. During the project implementation the electricity charging cost are supported by Baia Mare municipality, after that, the costs will be established respecting the legal regulation in place.
Awareness campaign has been developed for promoting electric mobility

Potential for learning or transfer
The initiative could be easily scaled and transferred by other localities, in terms of environmental impact and costs. Baia Mare municipality has monitored the functioning of these 6 charging stations, and based on the conclusions, another 9 charging stations for the electric vehicles will be purchased with the support and financing from the Administration of the Environment Fund.
Through CGTN project, Baia Mare Municipality has allocated 2500 euro for the electricity consumption (approx. 18.517 kWh) of these 6 charging stations in 2020. 4320 charging activities took place during the project implementation, resulting an estimated 1.296.000 km travelled by electric cars with 0% emission. The estimated reduction of CO2 resulted is approx. 267,5 tons, in 2020.
Related to e-mobility, with the normalization of economic life and tourism sector, people visiting Baia Mare will spread in their cities the benefits of this type of transport: economic, low noise, physical and chemical pollution.
