electric mobility
The use of electrically powered vehicles such as cars, bicycles, or scooters for transportation. The term includes the related technology, infrastructure, and concepts for promoting this type of mobility.
Die Bundesregierung fördert die Elektromobilität mit Kaufprämien für E-Autos.
The federal government promotes electric mobility with purchase bonuses for electric cars.
The word is a clear compound made up of 'Elektro-' (for electric) and 'Mobilität' (mobility). So it literally means 'electric mobility' and refers to means of transport with electric drive systems.
Die Zukunft der Mobilität in Städten ist die Elektromobilität.
The future of mobility in cities is electric mobility.
The component 'Elektro-' is very productive and is used for many terms related to electrical devices and vehicles. When you see 'Elektro-', you immediately know that it has to do with electricity, as in 'Elektroauto' (electric car) or 'Elektrofahrrad' (electric bicycle).
Mein neues Elektrofahrrad hilft mir, die Elektromobilität im Alltag zu leben.
My new electric bicycle helps me make electric mobility part of my everyday life.
In connection with 'Elektromobilität' (electric mobility), verbs such as 'fördern' (to promote), 'ausbauen' (to expand), or 'vorantreiben' (to advance) are often used. You can also say 'auf Elektromobilität umsteigen' (to switch to electric mobility) or 'in die Elektromobilität investieren' (to invest in electric mobility).
Die Regierung möchte die Elektromobilität weiter ausbauen.
The government wants to further expand electric mobility.
mobility
'die Mobilität' and 'die Elektromobilität' are both connected to getting around and transport. 'Mobilität' is the general term: it is about how people can move or travel, for example by bus, car, bicycle, or on foot. 'Elektromobilität' is much more specific and means getting around with electrically powered vehicles and the related technology. Learners may confuse the words because both occur in transport-related topics. When it is generally about movement and accessibility, 'Mobilität' fits. When it is explicitly about electric cars, e-bikes, or charging stations, 'Elektromobilität' is more precise.
Die Stadt baut neue Ladestationen, weil sie Elektromobilität fördern will.
The city is building new charging stations because it wants to promote electric mobility.
Auf dem Land ist Mobilität ohne Auto oft schwierig.
In the countryside, mobility without a car is often difficult.
