Abstract
his research investigates consumer awareness, perceptions, and key barriers affecting the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in India. Using a mixedmethods design that combines a nationwide survey (n 28) with expert interviews and secondary data review, the study finds that awareness of EVs is high (89.3 %), yet actual usage remains modest, constrained by high upfront cost, range anxiety, and insufficient charging infrastructure. The findings highlight policy and industry actions required to close the gap between interest and adoption.2. IntroductionElectric mobility is a pivotal solution to mitigating climate changeinduced emissions from the transportation sector. Indias ambitious target to electrify 30 % of its vehicles by 2030 underscores the urgency to decode adoption drivers and bottlenecks. This paper reframes an undergraduate thesis into a concise journalready research report.
