Abstract

As environmental degradation, the depletion of fossil fuels, and rising greenhouse gas emissions continue to become increasingly pressing concerns, electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a potentially useful alternative to solve these issues. battery systems, electric motors, and charging infrastructure are all examples of the core technology that underpins electric cars. Compared to traditional vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, electric vehicles (EVs) offer a number of benefits, including a reduction in pollutants, an improvement in energy efficiency, and lower running costs. While this is going on, there are a number of critical hurdles that are preventing mainstream adoption. These challenges include high starting costs, restricted driving range, poor charging infrastructure, and problems with battery disposal. developments in EV technology and government programs encouraging sustainable mobility. Taking everything into consideration, this research offers a thorough picture of the current state of electric vehicles and the possible role that they could play in crafting a future that is cleaner and more sustainable.
