The aim of the project, which is a follow-up of two former projects on the same subject, was to evaluate the potentials for the use of electric-powered vehicles in local traffic situations. The history of the development of these vehicles is touched upon, and results of interviews with drivers and the police on the way they are used are presented. Technological aspects are briefly described, and the consequences of an increase in numbers of electric-powered vehicles on the roads are discussed. Methods of encouraging people to use them and of how to integrate them in the traditional traffic scene are suggested. It is concluded that ''Mini-el'' is a user-friendly vehicle and particularly suited to local transportation, that energy savings as a result of its utilization are probably not significant, but that its more general usage would help to reduce traffic speeds in urban areas and, following this, also the number of traffic accidents.
