Always on the look out for what’s moving the world of sustainability, one topic in particular has caught our eye and our imagination in recent months: e-mobility. Electric vehicles – and the associated infrastructure – are developing fast, with ever more projects looking to make them cleaner, smarter, and more accessible. 

We’re rolling out a RESET Special on e-mobility over the next two weeks, taking a closer look at electric vehicles’ green credentials, weighing up the problems and available solutions around charging, and giving you practical tips on how you too can join the electric revolution. We’ll also be looking at the most interesting, innovative and downright awesome projects in the field: analysing the key to success in the world’s “electric car capital”, looking at how e-bikes could offer a genuine alternative to buying a car, and presenting you with the world’s first 3D-printed electric bus.
