Transport is responsible for a growing share of global energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, emerging as an economic
sector for which technical solutions have shown limited benefits
and a shift to electric mobility is seen as an essential part of
tackling both problems. However, despite electric motive power
being older technology than internal combustion engines and having
many advantages, both inherent disadvantages and the inertia of not
being the dominant road transport technology mean that it is only
recently that electric vehicles (EVs) have attracted serious policy
attention. Electrifying Mobility: Realising a Sustainable Future
for the Car examines the basis of this electric mobility 'turn',
considering the drivers, barriers to adoption and the current lived
experience of EV use, drawing upon this experience to inform
planning for mass EV adoption and how regulation might change to
reflect the specific needs and challenges raised. Considering
future transport policy, practice, and management where EVs become
an important part of the road transport fleet, and, it is assumed,
eventually come to dominate it, chapters study how EV and Connected
and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) technologies relate, and whether there
are synergies with shared mobility. The Transport and
Sustainability series addresses the important nexus between
transport and sustainability containing volumes dealing with a wide
range of issues relating to transport, its impact in economic,
social, and environmental spheres, and its interaction with other
policy sectors.

This book shows that transport matters. Comprising a series of
highly accessible chapters written by respected experts, it reviews
key transport issues and explains how and why effective and
efficient transport is fundamental to successfully addressing all
manner of public policy goals. Contributors explore how we 'do'
transport, as a result of the technologies available to us and the
cultures surrounding how we use them, and examine how this has
significant social, economic and environmental consequences. They
also provide key recommendations for how we could do things
differently to bring about a happier, healthier and more
economically secure future for all of us.
