  5. 4. “We may want the transition, but we don’t actually want the transition” : a discourse analysis of Swedish policies to incentivise charging infrastructure development for electric vehicles

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Solomiia Pereviznyk; [2022]
    Keywords : Policy analysis; discourse analysis; electric vehicles; charging infrastructure; fleet electrification; fossil free transport sector;

    Abstract : As Swedish government aims for the transition to a fossil fuel-free transport sector by 2030, it becomes clear that the electrification of the fleet is one of the biggest ambitions to achieve that goal. The process is hindered by various factors and one of them is the development of charging infrastructure which has been proven a bottleneck in the transition to a fossil free passenger car fleet.

    Abstract : One third of Sweden's total annual greenhouse gas emissions originate from the transport sector today and great changes are thus needed in order to reach the net zero emission target by 2045. One of the most important measures discussed is an increased electrification of the transport sector and a solution with potential to contribute to this transition is electric road systems (ERS), where vehicles are charged dynamically.
