ELECTRIC VEHICLES: DEVELOPMENT AND EVOLUTION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract. This article examines the historical development and technological evolution of electric vehicles (EVs) from their early experimental stages in the 19th century to modern advanced transportation systems in the 21st century. The study analyzes key technological milestones, economic factors, and environmental drivers that have influenced EV development. It also discusses current trends such as battery innovation, charging infrastructure expansion, and integration with renewable energy systems. The findings indicate that electric vehicles play a crucial role in the global transition toward sustainable transportation and low-carbon economies.
