Abstract

Climate change and CO₂ emissions are critical challenges for the environment and humanity. There is extensive literature on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, in particular CO₂ emissions. However, comprehensive analyses focusing on electric vehicles (EVs) and their impact are lacking. This study fills this gap by conducting a bibliometric analysis of 1143 peer-reviewed studies from 1989 to 2023. We aimed to identify influential contributions, understand the field's structure, and reveal research gaps. Analysis included citation networks, research impact, authorship patterns, content, and publication trends. We utilized bibliometric techniques to identify the most dominant countries, institutions, authors, journals, articles, and thematic areas related to EVs and emissions. Additionally, we overviewed publications associated with key search terms. Guided by five research dimensions (EVs, emissions, adoption, policies, and infrastructures), we framed specific research questions. This research provides valuable insights for environmentalists, policymakers, regulators, and academic researchers, facilitating access to crucial data on EVs and emissions.

解读电动汽车在排放和采用驱动力方面的未来。

气候变化和二氧化碳排放是环境和人类面临的严峻挑战。有关温室气体（GHG）排放，特别是二氧化碳排放的文献很多。然而，针对电动汽车（EV）及其影响的全面分析却十分缺乏。本研究通过对 1989 年至 2023 年的 1143 项同行评审研究进行文献计量分析，填补了这一空白。我们旨在确定有影响力的贡献，了解该领域的结构，并揭示研究差距。分析内容包括引文网络、研究影响、作者模式、内容和出版趋势。我们利用文献计量学技术确定了与电动汽车和排放相关的最主要国家、机构、作者、期刊、文章和主题领域。此外，我们还概述了与关键搜索词相关的出版物。在五个研究维度（电动汽车、排放、采用、政策和基础设施）的指导下，我们提出了具体的研究问题。这项研究为环境学家、政策制定者、监管者和学术研究人员提供了宝贵的见解，有助于获取有关电动汽车和排放的重要数据。
