T. S. Verma & Baldeep Singh
What the paper says
The transportation industry is a significant contributor to air pollution, primarily due to its substantial CO 2 emissions. Governments and international agencies seek to reduce car emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. However, the adoption rate of green cars remains insufficient as it faces various challenges, such as insufficient charging stations, discrepancies in the lithium-ion battery market, limited driving range, and high ownership costs. Among these, the high cost of green vehicles represents the most significant barrier. This study synthesizes earlier studies on the relationship between consumers’ intention to adopt green cars and government incentives with a comprehensive systematic literature review. The study included 62 papers from 23 sources using the Scopus database for review. The resulting trend topics and thematic mapping techniques have provided insight into the field’s major and under-explored themes. Content analysis provides insights into research methodologies, significant variables, and findings of previous studies. The suggested research directions in this review can serve as a guide for future studies. It will also help policymakers, manufacturers, and researchers improve green car adoption.
