ABSTRACT
One of the world’s largest and most difficult challenges is figuring out how to slow climate change by cutting emissions of carbon dioxide. In order to overcome this obstacle, technological advancements are crucial. It is becoming more common for both established and emerging industrial powers to alter their policy environments in order to better promote low-carbon investment and innovation. Greater use of electric vehicles (EVs) in the public domain is necessary due to rising environmental concerns. While advanced nations have found creative methods to get there, less developed nations are still falling behind. Their main worries revolve around a lack of technical preparedness and a lack of enabling infrastructure. Finding a viable, alternative propulsion technology that meets both needs is crucial. Electric vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are discussed in this chapter, along with their potential and critical analysis as a transitional propulsion technology that eases the way toward EVs.
