Rising fuel costs and growing environmental concerns are two big challenges for India. As is common knowledge, the environmental impact of automobiles is mostly caused by their fuel consumption, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. The best solution to these issues is electric vehicles. The purpose of this study is to identify the key factors influencing the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in India and to provide solutions to these problems in favour of sustainable development. The methodology used for this study, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to identify and validate the key variables influencing EV adoption. IBM SPSS, AMOS and MS Excel were the tools used in this study. The study collected responses from 200 people using a questionnaire. The Cronbach alpha test was performed to identify the reliability of questionnaire. In Cronbach Alpha Test the questionnaire got rating of 0.957. This means that the questionnaire is 95.7% accurate and able to give the answer of objective. The finding reveals that there are many factors that influence EV adoption in India, including charging infrastructure, costs, customer attitudes, self-image, perception, learning and awareness. The study recommends to improve charging infrastructure, lowering EV costs, increasing consumer awareness and education, and strengthening regulation support for EV adoption. According to the study's findings, addressing these important variables can aid in accelerating the adoption and penetration of EVs in India and encouraging long-term sustainable development.
