The electrification of urban transport is considered a key lever for the mobility transition. At the same time, the question arises as to whether new concepts such as shared charging infrastructure and e-car sharing in residential areas are also economically viable. This is where the study on economic efficiency for the MCube Project ComfficientShare She investigates the conditions under which such models are not only ecologically sound but also economically sustainable. The aim of the present analysis was to systematically evaluate the economic viability of different business models and to derive concrete recommendations for action.
The project was initiated as part of ComfficientShare and implemented in cooperation with TUM. MCube Consulting was commissioned to conduct the feasibility study and develop recommendations for key market players such as fleet operators, charging infrastructure providers, and housing companies.
The analysis is based on a combination of model-based calculations, empirical usage data, and expert assessments. At its core is a detailed calculation model that simulates various scenarios and maps cost and revenue structures.
For this purpose, mobility data from real usage trials, different pricing models (per km, per hour, subscription), and various integration levels of the participating stakeholders were considered, among other things. In addition, interviews with industry experts were conducted to validate assumptions and gain practical insights.
E-car sharing in residential areas can be economically viable, but only under clearly defined framework conditions. The price level, utilization rate, and organizational integration of the involved stakeholders are particularly crucial. Without these factors, the model remains economically fragile.
The study was conducted by MCube Consulting in collaboration with in-tech GmbH and the Technical University of Munich. The authors include Dr.-Ing. Daniel Schröder, Timo Natemeyer, and Benjamin Braun.

Develop the next mobility innovations for metropolitan regions. Together. Possible. To make it happen.
The new study shows: Every euro invested in public transport in the MVV generates almost four times the economic value added.
Electric, autonomous, networked: The logistics industry is facing a major transformation. The MCube Speaker Series at the Deutsches Museum discussed how this future can become reality.
The lessons learned from the first MCube funding phase show which factors really drive projects forward - and where typical barriers arise.
Creating transparency, proving impact, sharpening strategies - the new indicator guide supports precisely this.
For the first time in this format, students made their way to three European cities. They went to Stockholm, Tallinn/Helsinki and Barcelona.
This time, mobility in the cities of Ljubljana, Genoa and Utrecht was examined.
How can mobility data and simulations make cities more liveable - and change visible and tangible?
What do Brussels, Lisbon, Milan and Paris have in common?
Where to put cars, bicycles and e-scooters - and how do we organize parking space fairly, efficiently and sustainably?
What is MOSAIQ?
Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around better. That's how your Schwabing-West district could be in the future. How would you like your district to be? We want to talk to you about it!
The project is called MOSAIQ. MOSAIQ is a research∙project. MOSAIQ means: Mobility and urban climate in the future city∙part. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project.
What is MOSAIQ about?
MOSAIQ wants to make the streets in the city∙part more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For meetings and plants, for example. You can help decide what is tried out in the Stadt∙teil. The ideas come from you. Some ideas will be tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.
The aim of MOSAIQ is to make urban districts good places to live.
At the same time, the climate in the city should improve. And people should be able to move around the city easily.
What is happening in the district?
