Abstract

The concern over petroleum fuel consumption and global air pollution caused by the transportation sector has led to a delicate focus on electric vehicles (EVs) as a sustainable and efficient alternative. The EVs' ability to compete with internal combustion engine cars has been contentious. To accelerate the adoption of EV's globally it is vital to understand the current scenario of EV's, end-users’ perspective and the challenges faced by developing and underdeveloped countries. Worldwide numerous policies, several legislative incentives and guidelines have been implemented to hasten the adoption of EVs to attain carbon neutrality and address the issue of carbon emissions at the source. Amidst the initiatives taken, there are major issues to be sorted for smooth adoption of EVs. This review paper aims to provide a widespread understanding of the, a) technological challenges associated with EV adoption, b) need for diversified technology-related policies in EV adoption, and c) importance of creating awareness & initiatives to meet international green targets. As far as technological challenges are concerned, this article comprehensively discusses and enumerates the author's viewpoint of battery range and life, charging infrastructure and grid integration, R&D and design, as well as safety and reliability concerns. The technology-related policies cover the aspects of infrastructure development policy, regulations and standardization of EV technology and R&D investment policies. By synthesizing current knowledge and highlighting important considerations, this review paper aims to contribute to the understanding of technological barriers in EVs, examine relevant global policy implementations, and the necessary steps for their widespread adoption.

评估与电动汽车（EV）采用相关的技术驱动挑战和政策

对石油燃料消耗和交通运输部门造成的全球空气污染的担忧，导致人们对电动汽车（ev）作为一种可持续和高效的替代方案的微妙关注。电动汽车与内燃机汽车竞争的能力一直存在争议。为了加速电动汽车在全球的普及，了解电动汽车的现状、最终用户的观点以及发展中国家和欠发达国家面临的挑战至关重要。在世界范围内，已经实施了许多政策，一些立法激励和指导方针，以加速采用电动汽车，以实现碳中和，并从源头解决碳排放问题。在采取的措施中，有一些主要问题需要解决，以便顺利采用电动汽车。这篇综述论文的目的是提供一个广泛的理解，a)与电动汽车采用相关的技术挑战，b)在电动汽车采用中需要多样化的技术相关政策，以及c)创造意识的重要性；主动落实国际环保目标。在技术挑战方面，本文从电池续航里程与寿命、充电基础设施与电网整合、研发与设计、安全与可靠性等方面全面论述和列举了笔者的观点。技术相关政策包括基础设施发展政策、电动汽车技术法规与标准化、研发投资政策等方面。通过综合现有知识并强调重要考虑因素，本文旨在促进对电动汽车技术壁垒的理解，研究相关的全球政策实施，以及广泛采用这些政策的必要步骤。

期刊介绍： Transport Policy is an international journal aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practice in transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, industry, voluntary organisations and the public at large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis to understand how policy decisions have been taken, monitor their effects, and suggest how they may be improved. The journal treats the transport sector comprehensively, and in the context of other sectors including energy, housing, industry and planning. All modes are covered: land, sea and air; road and rail; public and private; motorised and non-motorised; passenger and freight.
