About Paper:

Electric vehicles(EV's) have presented many benefits, such as reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transportation. Although these advances can help in addressing climate change and environmental justice concerns, the proliferation of EV's across the US has brought up other challenges, such as lack of charging stations and the sustainability of the land the chargers inhabit. Several studies exist that address sustainable solutions with EVs centered on mobility, but infrastructure remains understudied. Land sustainability is one challenging problem due to relying on public funds, it is very expensive and lacks an understanding on what, if any economic incentives exist. The purpose of this research is to explore electric vehicles potential contribution to the expansion of impervious surfaces and the best way to utilize that land. Data will be collected through surveys and secondary data analysis using google scholar and science directly. Additionally, data will be collected through mock trials with electric motorbikes and go-carts. The research question guiding this study is "How does the widespread adoption of electric vehicles impact land use patterns?"
