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.
