“…They are gambling on the willingness of more affluent workers and businesses to trade the current higher price points of ECs (in comparison with equivalent ICE-powered models) for the environmental benefits and the lower running and maintenance costs of electric vehicles (Sovacool et al, 2019, p. 210). However, lower-paid workers may be unable to afford the shift to ECs until there is a more established used market (Bauer et al, 2021, p. 10; Bienias et al, 2020). Instead, they will be forced to buy used vehicles from the remaining stock of ICE cars, and will consequently be disadvantaged by higher running costs, and – in some jurisdictions – higher taxes and pollution charges levied by governments on ICE vehicles.…”

Green capitalism is an approach that attempts to use free-market mechanisms to mitigate anthropogenic climate change. Its advocates argue that the market supplies the best means to innovate technological solutions that can compete with existing polluting practices. Using a relational, post-anthropocentric and materialist ontology, this article analyses the micropolitics underpinning the capitalist market economy in terms of production and market assemblages and the affective forces within them. This novel approach reveals previously overlooked more-than-human affects within these capitalist assemblages. These affects generate the unintended and inevitable consequences of a capitalist economic framework: growth, waste and inequalities. Based on this micropolitical assessment, the article uses the example of the electric car to conclude that green capitalism is inadequate to address the climate crisis, and offers an alternative approach.

This article deals with determining statistically significant factors affecting the sale of battery electric vehicles in different European countries. Typical representative countries were selected on the basis of cluster analysis. The input data for multiple regression models and vector autoregressive models include data for the last decade and thus essentially cover the complete history of the electric car market. Attention is paid not only to the European leader but also to countries with a lower share of electric cars. The results of this study show the existence of a common factor in the countries with different development trends in the battery electric vehicle market. However, differences among individual countries are generally so significant that the identified factors vary from country to country.

“…There is also plenty of papers examining the AFV market in the whole EU, such as for example [22][23][24][25]. In the region of the Central and Easter Europe an AFV market has been also investigated, in particular in Poland [3,[26][27][28][29], in the Czech Republic [30,31] and in Lithuania [32].…”

A holistic approach regarding the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) of the sector of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in Poland, with particular regard to passenger electric vehicles (EVs), has been proposed to explore and evaluate the current state and to propose some future actions lines towards sustainable development in transportation. The most important problems faced currently by the Polish EVs market include unstable and unclear regulations that may discourage both: producers and buyers from engaging in this market segment. Secondly, the much higher prices of EVs in comparison to the conventional vehicles together with many unsolved issues with the batteries and charging stations belong to the most significant barriers of adoption. The formulated portfolio of actions towards enabling sustainable development of transportation in the segment of passenger vehicles proposes the implementation of mini-maxi strategy that would minimize the current weaknesses by maximizing the potential opportunities of the market.
