INTRODUCTION
Electric vehicles are those vehicles which are operated or run with the help of electric
motor instead of any fuel or gases that are filled in combustion engine for generating power to
run the vehicles(Ghasemi-Marzbali, 2022). Therefore, such types of vehicles are seems to be
perfect replacement for current generation auto mobile in order to reduces the problems related
to the pollution, global warming, decreasing of the natural resources. The concept of the electric
vehicles has been arising since earlier days so that the rising carbon footprints and other issues
which have great impact on the environment due to the fuel based vehicle can be reduced. In this
report, it will be demonstrated how the electric vehicles are truly sustainable for the environment
and reducing carbon emission. Further, it will discussed the ideas that may help in complying
with the sustainability.

PART A
Evaluation of Electric Vehicles regarding contribution to the Environment sustainability
Now a days, most of the people prefer to buy electric vehicles due to their low
maintenance costs and for avoiding high fuel prices as in case of fuel vehicles. Also, electric
vehicles have low running costs that attract people to buy them. Electric cars help in
environment sustainability by ensuring the low emittance of greenhouse gases and air pollution
as compared to diesel or petrol cars. Although EVs ensure almost zero emissions but due to the
charging requirement from electricity grid, they produce greenhouse gases but not as much as in
case of fuel cars(Zhang and et. al., 2022). EV or automotive industries contribute to sustainable
development while ensuring renewable electricity tariffs. Here are some of the advantages and
disadvantages of electric vehicles regarding environment sustainability :
Advantages :
 No CO2 emissions : Electric cars produce no carbon dioxide emissions and thus
ensures improved air quality in cities. On an average, a single electric car saves almost 1.5
million grams of CO2 every year. They are 100% eco-friendly because of electrical engines.
Because of electrical source, it does not produce any toxic gases. EVs ensure healthy and green
climate as compared to petrol or hybrid cars. One of the best advantage of automotive industry
is that it gets several government subsidies due to its contribution to environment sustainability.
