Electric vehicle transition refers to the large-scale shift from internal combustion engine vehicles to battery electric and plug-in hybrid powertrains, driven by climate policy, technological progress, and changing consumer preferences. Research in this area examines lifecycle greenhouse gas and non-exhaust emissions, total cost of ownership, and the reliability and spatial distribution of charging infrastructure. It also analyzes regulatory frameworks, subsidies, and fleet targets, alongside behavioral, informational, and regional factors that shape adoption patterns for passenger cars, buses, and trucks in different markets.
