As neoliberal-policy induced housing precarity has become ubiquitous, we now spend much more time living with roommates, or maybe even moving back into our parents’ place. We feel as though our agency and control are in constant flux, slowly slipping away from us while the complexities of the global financial flows and politics which govern our lives consistently seem to undermine our interests. What, then, is left over? Where can we still exercise our agency? What place still belongs to us?
Robert Poorten/AdobestockWhere will all the electricity required for the increasing number of electric cars come from? The Shared Charging project aims to provide an answer to this common question. The research team is developing a novel approach to public charging systems that can be seamlessly integrated into renewable energy systems. The goal is to create a comprehensive, user-friendly network of charging points that is as accessible as today’s parking spaces – but powered by solar, wind and other renewable sources.
