"Electric and hybrid cars (EVs and HEVs) as potential answers to the urgent problems of climate change and energy insecurity, a new age in transportation is starting. As a means of promoting environmentally responsible transportation, this book investigates the complex interplay between these cutting-edge technologies and the natural world. Rising consumer awareness of the environmental benefits of EVs and HEVs, along with improvements in battery technology and government incentives, have contributed to a meteoric rise in the popularity of these vehicles in recent years. By cutting down on emissions of dangerous pollutants and greenhouse gases, these vehicles provide a greener substitute for conventional gasoline-powered automobiles. Yet, there are many nuances to consider when analysing the effects of EVs and HEVs on the environment. An essential part of these vehicles, the manufacture of batteries, uses a lot of energy and materials. In addition, the carbon footprint of electric vehicles can be affected by the power source that is used to charge them. The goal of this book is to give a thorough analysis of how EVs and HEVs affect the environment. From mining for basic materials to disposing of them at the end of their useful lives, we will investigate these vehicles' life cycle assessments and analyse how they might help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We will also go into the pros and downsides of EV and HEV broad adoption, covering topics like consumer acceptability, grid stability, and infrastructure development. Decisions on the mobility of the future can be made by consumers, business owners, and lawmakers with an awareness of the environmental pros and downsides of EVs and HEVs. The goal of this book is to help create a future that is less harmful to the environment and more sustainable."
