Abstract:

E-Vehicle is a solution to lot many problems such as pollution, increasing the fuel rates, deaths due to pollution etc. Combustion engine automobiles generate a variety of pollutants. The amount of fugitive emissions from fuel, their source, and other factors such as the type of vehicle and how well it is maintained are all included in the pollutants that come from automobiles. Hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide are the main pollutants produced by gasoline-powered automobiles, whereas oxides of nitrogen and particulates are the main pollutants produced by diesel-powered vehicles. E-Vehicle generates zero pollution, saves money as lesser cost for charging and no fuel needed. EVs offer a practical way to cut overall greenhouse gasses emissions and decarbonize on-road transportation when they are charged with clean electricity. Due to the significant energy and environmental benefits of high vehicle economy, low exhaust emissions, and less reliance on petroleum (electricity production has a wide range of fuel options), vehicle electrification is a game-changer for the transportation industry. In the evolution of the energy system, the electrification of vehicles is a disruptive force that fundamentally alters the roles of many industries, technologies, and fuels in long-term transformation scenarios. There is little doubt that EV charging will have an influence on the power sector in terms of overall energy use, demand profiles, and supply-side synergies. The E-vehicles availability and adoption is a challenge as the cost of E-vehicle and the infrastructure facility available at present in India restricts consumer to adopt it. This paper tries to explore the consumer perception towards E-vehicle purchase decision in Sangli city
