The purpose of this study is to explore the interaction between visions of the future and policy through the analysis of one Swedish policy document, a 2013 government investigation Fossil Fuel Freedom on the Road, and its subsequent policy process. Here, I examine the emergence of a sociotechnical imaginary (Jasanoff & Kim, 2009) that places electric vehicles at the center of a fossil fuel independent future. Analysis centers on textual analysis of this document as well as responses from a formal consultation process and two concrete policy measures showing how this imaginary is stabilized through interaction with additional actors and translation to additional contexts. This electric vehicle imaginary as presented in the policy report focuses on the role of electric vehicles in fighting climate change, as well as the increased energy efficiency and positive impact on city environments these vehicles promise. Additionally, this investigation identifies a specific policy agenda where electric vehicles are introduced first for personal vehicles and urban buses. This imaginary is stabilized in the consultation responses and two policy instruments, showing a process of embedding. Frictions, however, remain as these documents introduce contestations around biofuels versus electric vehicles and which sections of transport should be electrified.

将想象中的电动汽车嵌入瑞典无化石燃料的未来

这项研究的目的是通过分析一项瑞典政策文件(2013年政府对道路上的化石燃料自由化的调查)来探索未来愿景与政策之间的相互作用。,及其后续的政策流程。在这里,我考察了社会技术假想的出现(Jasanoff&Kim,2009年),该假想将电动汽车置于化石燃料独立未来的中心。分析的重点是对本文档的文本分析以及正式协商过程的回应和两项具体的政策措施,这些措施表明如何通过与其他行为者的互动以及对其他上下文的翻译来稳定这种想象。政策报告中提出的这种电动汽车设想的重点是电动汽车在应对气候变化中的作用,以及提高的能效和对这些汽车所承诺的对城市环境的积极影响。此外,这项调查确定了一项具体的政策议程,其中首先将电动汽车引入私人车辆和城市公交车。在咨询响应和两项政策工具中都稳定了这一假想,表明了嵌入的过程。然而,摩擦仍然存在,因为这些文件引发了关于生物燃料与电动汽车的争执,以及哪些运输部门应电气化。
