E-Trust

The E-Trust project saw itself as a counterpart to the HyTrust project and focused on the future of individual transportation beyond petrol and diesel. The aim of the project was the socio-scientific analysis and reflection of the social perception of electric mobility. The focus was on examining the current guiding principles and future concepts of electric mobility. These guiding principles and visions play a central role in the further development of electromobility. They play a decisive role in determining user acceptance of the new technology on the one hand and the entrepreneurial, political and administrative decision-making processes on the other. Qualitative discourse, network and innovation analyses enable a comprehensive view of the ideas on electromobility – among the population and among players from business, politics, science, the media and NGOs.
