<b>Does it have the grunt? Car culture, electric vehicles, and the transition to net zero mobility</b></div>

As the transition to a green economy demands technological and social changes, what are the cultural obstacles and opportunities faced by electric vehicle technology? If cars are symbols of freedom, sexuality, identity and so on, how might this symbolism impede
the move toward EVs? Our inherited cultural attitudes – which could be understood in terms attachment, enthusiasm, desiring-investment, and so on – clearly influence our desire to adopt new technology. Likewise, embracing new technology might disrupt cultural
attitudes in new and interesting ways. In this Special Issue we are seeking to explore what sort of cultural changes are required for, and implicated in, the shift to electric vehicles.</div>

We are particularly interested in papers that consider the shift toward electric mobility within broader debates around the role of culture, policy and tradition in mediating technological change.</div>
