Low-carbon innovation from a hydroelectric base: The case of electric vehicles in Québec

Technological innovation systems in contexts: Conceptualizing contextual structures and interaction dynamics

“…when are forerunners acting as 'bridging technologies' that pave the way for others and when do they lock competitors out of the market (Andersson and Jacobsson, 2000;Sandén and Hillman, 2011)? 5) What synergies (rather than competition) can occur between emerging and more established TISs (Haley, 2015)?…”

Electrification of the car – Will the momentum last?

“…The first contribution, by Haley (2015), relates to the question whether specific institutional settings are beneficial for the development of electric mobility. The author argues that Québec would be the ideal place for an electric mobility system to develop, because of its large share of hydro power in electricity generation and the transformative potential that this may bring about.…”

Established sectors expediting clean technology industries? The Norwegian oil and gas sector's influence on offshore wind power

“…Hanson (2017) illustrates how the established electrometallurgical industry provided a foundation for building a photovoltaic TIS in Norway. Also, Haley (2015) reports how structural overlaps between the established hydropower regime and electric vehicle TIS in Quebec have supported the growth of the latter through e.g. legitimacy benefits and knowledge development.…”
