Adoption of Electric Vehicles and Its Impact on Sustainable Transportation Systems

Abstract

The growing concern over climate change, air pollution, and dependence on fossil fuels has accelerated the global shift toward sustainable transportation systems. Electric Vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a key solution due to their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and minimize environmental degradation. the adoption of EVs and evaluates their impact on sustainable transportation by analyzing technological, economic, and environmental dimensions. EV adoption significantly contributes to lowering carbon emissions and urban air pollution, especially when integrated with renewable energy sources. Additionally, advancements in battery technology, government incentives, and expanding charging infrastructure have enhanced the feasibility and acceptance of EVs. However, challenges such as high initial costs, limited charging stations, battery disposal concerns, and range anxiety continue to hinder widespread adoption.
