Abating The Carbon Foot Print Reduction of Automotive Transports Through Adoption of Electronic Vehicles

Abstract

The reduction of carbon footprints has now become a crucial strategy in combating the environmental sustainability through the broad acceptance of electric vehicles (EVs) which has been regarded as one of the most effective solutions in this effort. This paper aims to address the role of electric vehicles in reducing carbon emissions by replacing the traditional internal combustion engine vehicles thereby leading to improved air quality and lower carbon footprints. This paper examines the environmental benefits of EVs, considering factors such as electricity sources, vehicle lifecycle emissions, and advancements in battery technology. The primary data is collected from 50 sample respondents who are the users of EV’s from Chennai city. This study highlights the factors that induced the purchase and usage of these EV Vehicles are ascertained. Further, the study explores challenges such as additional requirement of infrastructure development, consumer adoption, and policy frameworks required by the consumers from the manufacturers of EV vehicles to support this transition to electric mobility.  The findings of the study highlights the potentiality of green vehicles as a key component in achieving global carbon reduction goals and advancing towards a low-carbon future thereby supporting the sustainable development goals.
