Abstract

There has been a heightened demand for environmentally responsible transportation solutions as a result of the growing danger posed by climate change and the rising emissions of greenhouse gases. When compared to traditional vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a significant alternative due to the fact that they have the potential to significantly cut carbon emissions. assessing the environmental performance, energy efficiency, and lifetime emissions of electric vehicles in order to determine the influence that their adoption has on the reduction of carbon emissions. In metropolitan areas, electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero emissions from their tailpipes, which directly reduces the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and improves air quality. Electric vehicles (EVs) have a higher energy efficiency than conventional vehicles, which leads to a lower overall energy consumption and a reduced impact on the environment. Additionally, the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power further boosts the potential for electric vehicles to reduce emissions.
