ISSUES OF INTEGRATING ELECTRIC VEHICLES INTO URBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMS

This article explores the critical issues related to the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into urban transport systems. As urbanization accelerates and environmental concerns intensify, electric vehicles present a promising alternative to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. The article discusses the environmental, economic, technological, and social dimensions of EV adoption, as well as the infrastructural and policy requirements necessary for successful integration. Moreover, it highlights the challenges associated with charging infrastructure, high initial costs, and public perception. The study concludes that a multi-faceted approach involving government incentives, public awareness, and private sector collaboration is essential for establishing a sustainable and efficient urban mobility system driven by electric transportation.
