The transition towards electric mobility is in full swing across the UK, championed by governments and industries keen to tackle climate change and take advantage of ‘green’ economic opportunities. However, the availability and uptake of electric mobility, as well as the costs and benefits, are geographically and socially uneven. As a social scientist or practitioner, understanding this unevenness and the interactions between daily practices, infrastructure, technologies, and policymaking can help guide us towards a more just transition to the low-carbon socio-technical systems of the future. Dr Budnitz will share some analysis and findings from her research into this unevenness from multiple scales and perspectives, before opening the floor for discussion. 

Our speaker is Dr Hannah Budnitz, Research Associate at the Transport Studies Unit and Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford.
