An Awareness of Electric Vehicles for Sustainable Development in India

Abstract

This article provides a exhaustive discussion on the impact of Electric Vehicles (EVs) on the environment, public health, and consumer behaviour. It emphasizes that EVs are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional automobiles, which contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. By reducing these emissions, EVs can improve air quality, particularly in metropolitan areas, and promote sustainable mobility. The article also explores the health implications of vehicle emissions, noting that long-term exposure can reduce an individual’s lifespan by up to ten years. In contrast, EVs, with no tailpipe emissions, help to mitigate this risk and improve overall air quality in the urban settlements, contributing to enhanced quality of life. However, the largescale adoption of EVs is not solely dependent on their environmental benefits; it also relies heavily on consumer awareness, perceptions, and purchase intentions. Consumer attitudes toward EVs influence their willingness to adopt these sustainable technologies. Thus, understanding these factors is vital for promoting EV adoption. The article concludes by highlighting the significance of government initiatives to raise public awareness about the advantages of EVs and to promote sustainable development. By addressing consumer concerns and educating the public about the benefits of EVs, governments can help accelerate the changeover to cleaner, more ecological transportation systems.
