The Future of Sustainable Transportation: A Comprehensive Study of Electric Vehicle Adoption and Its Impact on Global Carbon Emissions

Abstract

Sustainable mobility options have been receiving a lot of attention as the world tries to figure out how to fight climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions, air quality, and reliance on fossil fuels can all be reduced with the switch to electric vehicles (EVs) from traditional gasoline-powered automobiles. how widespread use of EVs will affect emissions of carbon dioxide in the years to come. This study seeks to answer the question, "How can the broad transition to electric vehicles contribute to achieving carbon reduction targets?" by investigating the variables that impact consumer adoption, government regulations, and technical developments in EVs. The study also considers the environmental benefits of EVs across their entire lifecycle, from production to energy use to the disposal of used EVs. The possibilities and threats of expanding the use of electric vehicles on a global scale are examined through a mix of literature study, data analysis, and case studies from different locations. A strong charging infrastructure, improved battery technology, and enabling legislative frameworks are necessary for electric vehicles to reach their full potential in reducing carbon emissions, according to the results. achieving a considerable decrease in global carbon emissions requires an all-encompassing strategy for sustainable transport that incorporates new technologies, improved infrastructure, and the backing of governments.
