To reduce the transport sector’s continuing impact on anthropogenic climate change, a fundamental transformation of the entire mobility system is necessary. Such transition requires substantial changes to how society views and practices mobility. In order to analyse how such transformative processes emerge and unfold, this paper explores the relationship between one particular new mobility practice -intermodal e-carsharing- and its effect on the mobility behavior and attitudes of performers. Drawing on social practice theory and the mobility culture concept, it will be examined how intermodal e-carsharing -the integration of electric vehicle carsharing as one of two or more transportation modes within a single trip- challenges and modifies transport practices, as well as the underlying understanding of mobility. Different social practices interlink, therefore framing transitions through changes in practices, allows to identify relations as well as mechanisms of change between certain performances and entire systems of practices. Therefore, such an analysis will eventually allow the formulation of refined policy recommendations that encourage a large scale transformation of the transportation system.
