Factors Influencing EV Purchase Decisions and Behaviour

At this turn in history, the global automotive industry stands at a very crucial point since it is moving from a vehicle with a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) to electric vehicles. One of the reasons for this transition is the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions in combating climatic change, a phenomenon that has been fueled by decades of dependence on fossil fuels. EVs provide a future road that is capable of an alternative to ICE-based vehicles, primarily because there are no tailpipe emissions. This would highly reduce the environmental impact of transport. Not merely a technological evolution, it is indeed a historical necessity toward completing the sustainable development goals, among which reduction in greenhouse gas emission and improvement in air quality represent two of the challenges at the top of the stack.
