'Electric mobility in the 1970s and 1980s - the revival of a vision and its failure in reality' aims to answer the question of why electric cars, especially electric passenger cars, were unable to gradually develop from niche products to mass products in the context of socially and politically motivated narratives of environmental protection and the energy crisis. To this end, the use of electric cars at the turn of the century will first be examined in order to draw conclusions about their development in the 1970s and 1980s and identify patterns. Another part of the thesis will examine the technological factors behind the failure of electric mobility. In addition to presenting a few concept and production vehicles as examples, the main focus will be on the drive battery subsystem, as this has been more decisive for the success or failure of electric cars than any other technical subcomponent. In addition, the thesis examines the social, political and economic context in which the feasibility of electric mobility was renegotiated in the 1970s.

Nils Symanczyk studied English, philosophy and the history of science and technology from 2009 to 2016. Since then, his research has focused on disruptive technologies in the fields of transport and communication, as well as technological unemployment and artificial intelligence.
