Abstract

The main cause of greenhouse gas emission now a days is emission of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) based vehicles. This greenhouse gas emission has severe impacts on climatic conditions. The electric vehicles (EV) are an alternate solutions to avoid the rise in global warming effects. It is projected that the use of 125 million EVs on road by 2030 would keep the temperature below two degrees. The deployment of EV on road has many challenges for 100% adoption in society. The adoptions of EVs suffer with many challenges that includes social and technical challenges. This paper addresses the numerous socio-economics challenges faced by the EVs in country. The government framing policies for EVs play a crucial role for EV adoption in society. The safety of driver and passengers should be the first priority during design consideration of EVs.
