This dissertation aims to research barriers and driving forces for the development of Clevers charging points for electric cars in the Capital Region of Denmark. The car is by far the most important mode of transportation and provides people the freedom to travel where they want. However, from an environmental perspective, cars are a major polluter that have negative and long lasting effects on our cities. Through qualitative research interviews, documents and spot interviews regarding the users of Clever’s charging points, I’ve built an understanding within my field. My theory is based on Ole B Jensens’ understanding of mobility design and of Malene Freudendal-Pedersen and Lise Drewes Nielsen's book called “Mobility in the City”. This combined with scientific theory that deals with a pragmatic approach inspired by ‘actor-network theory’. By using different methods and theories, I analyze what barriers and driving forces exist for the development of Clevers charging points. As a result of my thesis and collected empirical data, I have identified four barriers and four driving forces for the development of Clevers charging points in the Capital Region. What does the future hold for electric cars? Will there be enough charging stations/points in our cities? Will electric vehicles overload the power grid? Will the higher energy prices impact the development of electric cars? |
