Abstract:

Electric vehicles (EVs) are globally recognized as a key strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and decarbonizing the transportation sector. Regions have made significant progress in electrifying mobility; despite global momentum, adoption remains inconsistent. High upfront costs, insufficient charging infrastructure, battery performance concerns, and limited public awareness continue to present major challenges. This report presents a comprehensive review of these barriers based on a research effort drawing from global, national, and state-level studies. The findings are contextualized for the United States transportation ecosystem using international and national comparisons to identify scalable, effective policy and technology interventions. The research integrates global trends to ensure contextual relevance and broader applicability. The research is a behavioral study of vehicle choice to addresses the question of what characteristics of the electric vehicle environment should be identified for change to motivate people to adopt electric vehicles.
