Abstract

The adoption of sustainable technologies demands that we create effective designs, supportive infrastructure, and capable institutions. This paper examines the state of play of electrical vehicle provision in Scotland. Electrical vehicles, and their attendant infrastructure, constitute an emerging technology which is rapidly spreading in society. Through an exploration of this case the paper advances the theory of technology delivery systems in manner which may be reapplied to other technologies, political contexts, regions, and eras of change. This theory describes technologies as mixed assemblages of technological artefacts and human organisation, an approach which is particularly conducive to understanding the management of emerging technology.
