Based on a study of the implementation of master plans for electric vehicle charging infrastructure (SDIRVE), this thesis project proposes to examine the territorial organization of the transition to electric mobility. The aim is to examine the effects of national public policy on the electric mobility ecosystem (and vice versa), the ways in which relations between the central government and local authorities are being reshaped in the energy transition, and the effectiveness of the regions' integrative role in the field of mobility. This project also proposes to examine the terms of cooperation between public and private actors around the development of new mobility infrastructure, focusing in particular on how the participation of various types of actors influences the trade-off between public service objectives and economic profitability and, in doing so, contributes (or not) to redefining the role of local public authorities in regional planning. Finally, this thesis project analyzes the role played by electricity distribution network operators in supporting the deployment of publicly accessible charging infrastructure, in order to understand how their role is changing in the context of the energy transition.
