Transport plays a significant role in the growing global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting the need for a transformative shift towards electric mobility. While electric vehicles (EVs) have existed for decades, their adoption has been hindered by inherent disadvantages, technological inertia, and the dominance of internal combustion engines. However, recent policy attention and technological advancements have propelled EVs into the spotlight, recognizing their potential to address these pressing environmental concerns.

In Electrifying Mobility: Realising a Sustainable Future for the Car, the book delves into the drivers, barriers to adoption, and the current lived experience of EV use. By examining these factors, the book aims to inform planning for mass EV adoption and how regulation can adapt to reflect the unique needs and challenges raised. Chapters explore the relationship between EV and Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) technologies, examining potential synergies with shared mobility.

The Transport and Sustainability series, a part of the Routledge Studies in Transport and Sustainable Development series, serves as a comprehensive platform for addressing the intricate nexus between transport and sustainability. This series encompasses a wide range of volumes that delve into various aspects of transport, its impact on economic, social, and environmental spheres, and its interactions with other policy sectors. By bringing together experts from diverse fields, these books provide valuable insights and solutions for promoting sustainable transport practices and achieving a more sustainable future.

As the world continues to grapple with the challenges of climate change and resource depletion, the adoption of electric mobility is crucial in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a more sustainable future. Electrifying Mobility: Realising a Sustainable Future for the Car offers valuable insights and perspectives on this critical topic, contributing to the ongoing dialogue and efforts towards a greener and more sustainable transport system.
