Modern electric vehicles (EVs) are well suited to most people's
general transport needs. Despite this, their adoption at a large
scale has been grindingly slow. What are the reasons for this?
Unlike most books which focus on the technical aspects of EV
performance, this guide sets out the commercial and political
barriers to their increased use and lays out the ways in which
these barriers can be overcome. It begins by charting the rise of
the internal combustion engine, and detailing the problems
associated with it which are driving efforts to electrify
transportation. It goes on to introduce readers to the main EV
technologies and examines the key issue of energy storage and
recharging infrastructure. The remaining chapters explore the
cost-effectiveness of electric mobility, the differing adoption
trajectories by which EVs may come to increase in prominence, and
the way in which policy can be tailored to encourage this rise. The
book covers industrialized and emerging economy contexts, the
latter of which have the greatest opportunities - and most urgent
need - to take the EV development route. Requiring no specialist
engineering knowledge to understand and written in an engaging,
accessible style, this is a valuable primer and resource for people
in business, policy or study who are keen to understand, encourage
and capitalize on the transition to electric mobility.
