Equity Issues in Electronic Vehicle Adoption

Electronic vehicles (EVs) offer many environmental and economic benefits. It also has the potential to reduce traffic congestion. For example, the future integration of autonomous EVs has the potential to significantly impact traffic congestion by optimizing traffic flow, reducing accidents, and improving road utilization efficiency. As the adoption of EVs continues to spread, the resource imbalance in different aspects has hindered it from reaching many people, especially low-income and minority groups. This research proposal aims to investigate the equity challenges associated with EV adoption, focusing on socio-economic disparities, infrastructure accessibility, policy analysis, and potential solutions to foster inclusive EV adoption.
