Electric sharing mobility services (ESMS) are gaining popularity as a promising solution for sustainable transportation. For transportation planning and operations, it is important to understand the factors affecting the use behavior of ESMS and the substitution patterns of conventional transportation modes. To that end, we carried out a large-scale stated preference experiment to elicit travel preference toward ESMS considering various alternatives, contexts, and traveler characteristics. We collected mode choice observations from a sample of respondents from four European countries (France, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain) and ran a scaled error component model. The results show that ESMS have the potential to reduce dependency on private cars. While heterogeneity is found across countries, people at young ages, with high incomes, and living in large cities are commonly associated with a higher probability of adopting ESMS for urban mobility. However, the substitution patterns reveal a relatively lower preference for ESMS from private car users compared to users of public transportation and active modes. Operational implications are discussed for sharing mobility planners and operators to avoid unintended substitution effects.
