Electric Vehicles: Sustainable Transport or Technical Fix?
- Synopsis
- Looks to the future of innovation by focusing on the prospects for electric vehicles, examining the role of individual inventors and innovators, companies, governments and legislators in attempting to develop environmentally sound transport systems. Starts by asking why, given that electric cars were in use 100 years ago, modern versions are not available, then goes on to explore whether electric vehicles are really an environmentally sustainable form of transport or simply a technical fix.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
