Public Perception and Adoption of Electric Vehicles in Chennai

Driven by concerns about air pollution, climate change, and the depletion of fossil fuels, the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) is a crucial step toward sustainable transportation.This study examines the hurdles to EV adoption and public perception, with a focus on Chennai.The study employs a structured survey to explore how EV adoption is influenced by factors such as cost, public awareness, and charging infrastructure.According to research, electric vehicles (EVs) have both financial and environmental advantages; however, widespread adoption is hindered by issues such as high upfront costs, a shortage of charging stations, and concerns over battery sustainability.The study emphasizes that accelerating EV adoption and promoting a cleaner, greener future require governmental changes, improved infrastructure, and increased public awareness.
