Abstract
Consumers are now considering electric vehicles (EV) as a quickly developing operational alternative to vehicles that run on fossil fuels like petrol, diesel, and compressed natural gas (CNG), due to the growing environmental concerns brought on by the depletion of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The investigation of probable elements influencing consumers' inclinations to adopt electric two-wheeler vehicle is the article's main goal. 365 individuals from Delhi NCR were surveyed online using the stratified sampling and cluster sampling technique to gather data using a quantitative approach. To identify the variables, an exploratory factor analysis—a potent statistical method—is performed using IBM SPSS 23. The study identified a few variables that affect the adoption of electric vehicles, including financial barriers, vehicle performance barriers, a lack of infrastructure for charging, environmental conservation, societal influences, and social awareness of electric vehicles.
