This book provides a compelling exploration of the dysfunctionality of car electrification and green mobility. Detailing how car companies aim to control the future of automobility through circular business models, Peter E. Wells highlights the pivotal role of governments in this unsustainable transition.

This book provides a compelling exploration of the dysfunctionality of car electrification and green mobility. Detailing how car companies aim to control the future of automobility through circular business models, Peter E. Wells highlights the pivotal role of governments in this unsustainable transition.



How the Global Automotive Industry Stole our Green Mobility Future emphasizes how major car manufacturers, supported by governmental subsidies and consumer incentives, have seized the opportunity to control the resources needed for batteries and reinforced car dependence. Wells demonstrates how this has created additional environmental threats, new concerns over national security, further inequalities for workers in distant supply chains, and increased financial barriers to travel. The book also covers the maladaptation and future of the automobile industry, electric SUVs and electric bicycles.



This comprehensive book is an essential read for scholars of innovation, circular economies, environmental governance and transport policy. Practitioners and policymakers in socio-technical transitions, urban planning, environmental regulations, mobility and transportation will also find this an essential guide.

Recenzijos

Anyone concerned about the negative impacts of automobility and the tyranny of the car should read this book. The message is clear: by reframing mobility as waste and advocating for degrowth, Peter E. Wells argues that it is urgent to rethink our transportation systems if we hope to achieve a truly sustainable future. This book serves as a powerful wake-up call. -- Flįvia Consoni, University of Campinas, Brazil Have you ever wondered why cars continue to clutter our streets irrespective of the ubiquitous discussions about green transitions? Peter E. Wells convincingly argues that this is due to the persistent dominance of the global automotive industry. Are you curious to see if there is any alternative? Read the book, and you may find out. -- Thomas Magnusson, Linköping University and Halmstad University, Sweden
