Abstract
Abstract Transportation systems worldwide heavily depend on fossil fuels, contributing to environmental issues, global emissions, and rising temperatures. Electric vehicles (EVs) offer a sustainable alternative to reduce carbon emissions. Countries, including the United States, China, Norway, and Germany, incentivize EV adoption to mitigate environmental and economic concerns. However, challenges such as limited range, extended charging times, infrastructure gaps, and higher upfront costs hinder widespread adoption. This study assesses EVs' technological advancements and reliability while analyzing India's incentives to promote their rapid adoption. A comparative analysis of India's EV policies with other nations has been presented, along with policy recommendations.
