About Paper:

Two main barriers with the adoption of electric vehicles(EVs) are price and availability. Unlike gasoline vehicles that are readily available and at a reasonable price, electric vehicles are uncommon and can be several thousand dollars more expensive than a gasoline vehicle. Due to the rapid evolution of the EV field, it is very important that we continue to expand on the production of innovative technology that makes EVs more consumer convenient. This study seeks to conduct a literature review on mechanisms that affect the affordability and availability of electric vehicles. Studies will be identified through the usage of google scholar and other data sources. The information pulled from the literature review will be compared to other studies in an attempt to find a general consensus of how researchers view EV affordability and availability. Additionally, this study will perform a needs-based survey, in order to better understand the public's view on electric vehicles. A survey will be conducted and shared with a wide demographic of people, with the aim of gaining a consensus on the way a person views EV affordability and availability. The research questions guiding this study are "Do most people perceive EVs as both available and affordable enough to purchase them as their vehicle," and "do EV researchers perceive EVs as both available and affordable enough to purchase them as their vehicle."
