The Automotive Industry Transitioned from the "Traditional to Ev” Path in Support of the Sustainable Cities Program and Explored The Role of Policy In Promoting Electric Vehicle Adoption in India

Abstract

About 70% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions come from urban areas, with the transport sector responsible for about a third. Therefore, decarbonizing urban transportation is essential in the fight against climate change. The worldwide decarbonization of transportation is an issue that electric vehicles (EVs) can help manage. With a quality rating 141, India's air is among the worst in the world. “The government has responded to this alarming statistic by launching several programs and policies.” By 2050, experts predict that the global fleet will number 2.5 billion automobiles. The automotive industry has shown a range of advancements in recent years, most notably the widespread adoption of electric cars (EVs) to reduce pollution. Environmental pollution is a major issue all around the world right now. Internal combustion engine pollution is a major source of air pollution. Electric vehicles (EVs) are being actively marketed globally to reduce emissions from fossil fuels and solve environmental concerns (ECs). “Several countries offer financial incentives to citizens who move to EVs. This article also demonstrates the mediating role of government policies between pricing, awareness of EVs, infrastructural requirements, and the desire to adopt EVs.”
