Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a promising solution to mitigate environmental degradation caused by transportation. The increased concerns over climate change and air pollution have accelerated the adoption of EVs globally. The use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power to charge EVs significantly reduces the emission of harmful gases, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment. The transition to EVs has the potential to create a significant positive impact on the environment, reducing the carbon footprint of the transportation sector. This study will explore the potential benefits of EVs for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and noise pollution. Furthermore, this research will consider the impact of EVs on the energy grid and investigate the feasibility of integrating renewable energy sources to power EVs. The study will also examine the economic and social implications of EV adoption and the potential for job creation in the EV industry. The findings of this research will contribute to a better understanding of the role that EVs play in mitigating the environmental impact of transportation. This research is especially relevant as the world moves towards a more sustainable and decarbonized future. Policymakers, industry leaders, and consumers can use the insights gained from this study to make informed decisions about the future of transportation and its impact on the environment. In conclusion, this study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of EVs and their potential to create a sustainable future for transportation.
