From the combustion engine to the electric one: a new engine, a society to rethink

The shift from the combustion engine to the electric one redefines far more than a technology: it changes the way we move, forces us to rethink our territories and shifts the centre of gravity of value towards a “middle ground” between energy, infrastructure and digital services. Cars become nodes in a network.

Supply chains and economic models reorganise too, alongside the public choices that regulate this transition. That is why talking about electric means talking about society, habits and our collective future.

But it also touches something more intimate: for drivers, sensations, rituals, identity and perceived freedom all change. Noise, vibration, maintenance, range, charging: new habits and new resistances.
