Abstract

Electric cars (EVs) have recently come to the forefront due to the worldwide movement towards more environmentally friendly modes of transportation; nevertheless, the rate of EV market acceptance differs greatly across developed and developing nations. examines the factors impacting consumer choices, government regulations, infrastructure development, and the role of technology breakthroughs in determining the future of electric vehicles, as well as the trends, difficulties, and possibilities associated with their adoption in these two separate economic contexts. The research analyses the impact of socioeconomic, cultural, and political aspects on EV uptake by analysing data from a range of countries, including both high-income and low-to-middle-income nations. The article also assesses how EV adoption may affect sustainability, urban planning, and energy usage. This study presents targeted solutions to promote the expansion of the electric vehicle market worldwide by identifying important obstacles such infrastructural gaps, high initial costs, and low consumer awareness in developing economies. In the end, it's important for governments, industry players, and consumers to work together to speed up the shift to electric mobility. This will show how EVs can help achieve sustainability targets on a local and global scale.
