Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) have taken center stage in the global shift towards sustainable energy systems and their economic growth has a huge implication in both developing and advanced economies. The research evaluates the economic effect of EV adoption based on secondary data sources in the international arena that include the International Energy Agency, World Bank, and IMF. The discussion takes into consideration the important indicators such as GDP growth, employment trends, energy usage, and infrastructural development. Results show that developed economies have the advantage of having well-developed infrastructure, effective policy backing, and greater purchasing power, resulting in quick EV market adoption and favorable economic results including more investments, creating jobs in new industries, and less reliance on fossil fuels. Conversely, emerging economies have difficulties like high start-up expenses, poor charging systems, and dependence on foreign technologies, which are a setback in adoption and cause economic susceptibility. Nonetheless, such economies also offer the opportunities of development based on local production and development of the policy. The paper shows that special policy measures, infrastructure investments, and planning are critical to achieving fair and sustainable economic gains. In general, the adoption of EV can lead to long-term economic change, yet its effects in various economic conditions are different.
