Abstract

Electric cars, also known as Electric vehicles (EVs), possess a smaller ecological footprint compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). While certain aspects of their production may have comparable, reduced, or different environmental impacts, they have the advantage of emitting minimal to no tailpipe emissions. Furthermore, they help reduce reliance on petroleum, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and mitigate the health effects caused by air and environmental pollution. In recent years, there has been a noticeable research focus on incorporating EVs into smart cities, as they offer a means to reduce urban carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Consequently, a limited number of studies have sought to enhance the widespread integration of EVs in order to promote environmental sustainability and contribute to the advancement of the built environment. Consequently this study aims to explore existing literature pertaining to the impact of electric vehicles in promoting a sustainable urban transportation system and fostering an environmentally friendly ecosystem. To accomplish this, the study will employ the Prisma methodology, which involves extracting relevant information from peer-reviewed journals and conference papers. The outcomes of this research endeavor will yield valuable policy implications, aiding policymakers and decision-makers in their efforts to combat climate change and enhance the efficiency of the electric vehicle market.
