Electric Vehicles and the Future of Transportation
Abstract
Electric vehicles (EVs) offer an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil-fueled cars, reducing
emissions and dependence on oil. This paper reviews EV technology, market trends, challenges,
and their role in sustainable transportation.
Introduction
Growing concerns about pollution and climate change drive the shift toward EV adoption globally.
1. EV Technologies
- Battery types, charging infrastructure, and performance.
- Advances in energy efficiency and range.
2. Market Trends and Adoption
- Government incentives and policies.
- Increasing consumer acceptance.
3. Challenges
- Battery production environmental impact.
- Charging network limitations.
- High initial costs.
Conclusion
EVs are key to sustainable transport but require continued technological, economic, and
infrastructure development.
