摘要
It has been suggested that increasing the use of electric vehicles (EVs) could help reduce global fuel use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, two major contributors to climate change. The purpose of this research is to examine consumer attitudes on EVs and the factors that prevent their mainstream adoption. Unlike conventional survey methods, the researchers used theme analysis to uncover and make sense of the myriad of aspects that went into their purchase. The study also takes into account the often-overlooked part played by emotions. People's openness to express their opinions online makes eWOM a useful source of information for this study on electric automobiles. This technique is useful for identifying any and all gaps (physical and intangible) between a company's offering (EVs) and a customer's expectations. This research also sheds light on the interconnected nature of these obstructions, revealing a potentially crippling snowball effect on adoption rates. In this study, we look at how technology has altered transportation in the United States. Efficiency, sustainability, safety, and accessibility are only few of the topics covered, along with infrastructure, vehicle technology, and mobility services. This study analyzes data and research to provide light on how technology has changed the face of transportation in the United States. This research looked at how electric car market share relates to the availability of government subsidies and other important socioeconomic factors. The findings showed a negative correlation between energy prices and EV adoption, whereas a positive correlation between the market share of electric vehicles in each state and the presence of urban highways and government incentives. Based on the results of the sensitivity analysis, it appears that the cost of power has the greatest impact on the number of people opting to buy electric cars. The analysis of EV adoption found that the price of power and the availability of charging stations in metropolitan areas had the greatest impact.
