Examining the causal factors of the electric vehicle adoption: a pathway to tackle climate change in resource-constrained environment

Abstract Electric vehicles (EVs) serve an important role in lowering greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to mitigate global warming while also contributing long-term growth. Thus, this research explores various criterions relevant electric vehicle adoption and causal relationships using the decision-making trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. From comprehensive literature review, a set of criteria for EVs were identified are finalised through Delphi The data was gathered from eleven experts analyzed DEMATEL method develop relationship between each criterion. sensitivity analysis performed check robustness model. findings revealed that key EV include their relationships. It is observed charging time, driving range price most purchase. Battery capacities have major influential impact on other like torque, range, maximum power. Professionals managers manufacturing industry can benefit prioritization by understanding them. This study as guidance engineers when it comes implementing client preferences into design. assist low-performing determining benchmarks. work contributes building improved factors resource-constrained environments policy making.
