Abstract

Transportation is one of the most energy-intensive businesses in any nation. Because of carbon emissions, fossil fuel use, and other difficulties, the transportation industry is transitioning from IC engine-powered cars to electric vehicles (EV). EVs are eco-friendly and renewable energy technology that may provide an efficient transportation system without a catastrophic impact on natural resources. Despite government incentives, client demand isn’t rising. This suggests impediments to EV adoption. The review discusses an overview of electric cars, varieties of EVs, charging methods, challenges to mainstream EV adoption, the EV sector in India, and the future potential of EVs in Indian markets.
