Exploring Electric Vehicle Adoption: A UK Market Research Report

This report provides an overview of electric vehicles (EVs) in the UK, examining their growing popularity and the benefits they offer, such as reduced emissions and lower running costs. The report outlines the research aim to explore EV adoption in the UK, followed by specific objectives to understand the concept of EVs, identify their advantages, and determine the challenges faced in the UK market. A literature review covers the fundamentals of EVs and their benefits, including environmental advantages and cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses challenges like limited driving range, long charging times, and high initial costs. The methodology relies on secondary sources like books and journals. The conclusion highlights the UK government's target to end the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles, and the report acknowledges the current scarcity of EV charging points. The report concludes with a list of cited references.

INTRODUCTION
Electric vehicles are gaining popularity with respect to benefits that
are being delivered by them to different entities (Customers,
organisation and country). The presentation will provide insight
into aims, objectives and many more aspects.

BACKGROUND
Electric vehicles are also known as
ultra low emission vehicles that run
on electricity. Transport was largest
emission sector within UK
economy that accounts to near
around 28% of GHG (greenhouse
gas) emissions. UK has targeted to
meet the net zero target by the year
2050. They should scale up by
100% for new sales.

RESEARCH AIM
It provides an overview of what will be done in the systematic
manner.
“ To explore the popularity of electric vehicles along with benefits
that can be attained”. A Study on UK.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
 To explore the notion related with electric vehicles
 To identify the benefits that can be achieved by opting for electric
vehicles
 To determine the challenges that are being faced by UK while bringing
in electric vehicles within the market

LITERATURE REVIEW
 Notion related with electric vehicles
EVs make use of battery that is making use of only the power
source. Generally the non-luxury models travels 130 to 190 km
(80-120 miles). The range can slso vary depending on the terrain,
driving style along with usage auxiliary equipments like air or
heating conditions.

CONT.…
 Benefits that can be achieved by opting for electric vehicles
 They steadily gains popularity because of technological strides
which have made them cheaper as well as easier for charging
them. The benefits that can be attained through the usage of EVs
are specified beneath:
 Electric vehicles are better for the environment as they do not
contain any exhaust system means that they do not emit like any
other cars
 In comparison to gas, electricity is cheaper and around 15 cents
will be paid for driving gas powered vehicle

SUMMARY
Several challenges are being faced via people of UK when they
opt for electric vehicles along with this country will also face.
They are:
 EVs have short range for driving and are not feasible for longer
commutes
 The charging takes ample of time even it can take around a full
day to recharge.
 Initial investment is steep and technology is enhancing
continuously.
But apart from this by taking into account positives then this
creates significant influence on the environment of the UK.

EVALUATION OF SOURCES
Here, secondary sources are utilised for analysis of
research objectives. Depending upon accuracy along with
reliability of sources are higher in comparison to primary
sources. This research requires distinct responses from
wide range sources like books, journals and many more.

CONCLUSION
From above, it can be said that the government of the UK has
decided the target date for putting an end to the sale of new diesel
or petrol vehicles as the year 2040. Till then, the country will
include traditional vehicles. The numbers of charging points for
the electric vehicles within the bounds of the United Kingdom are
less.
