Bibliometric Analysis of Electric Vehicle Adoption Research: Trends, Implications, and Future Directions.

The study aims to comprehensively understand the research landscape surrounding electric vehicle (EV) adoption. Through bibliometric analysis, the research explores critical questions related to EV adoption trends, leading countries and universities, subject areas of interest, and potential research gaps. The study utilizes data from the Scopus database, covering the period from 2017 to 2023, resulting in 181 publications. The findings reveal a positive trend in EV adoption research, reflecting the growing interest in sustainable transportation solutions. The dominance of the United States and China in EV adoption research highlights their proactive approach towards addressing climate change and advancing EV adoption. Meanwhile, Indonesia's limited representation indicates research gaps within the country's unique context. The research highlights the significance of environmental impact and charging infrastructure in promoting sustainable EV integration. The implications suggest opportunities for further investigation into the environmental benefits of EV adoption and technological advancements. Future research directions include conducting in-depth studies in Indonesia, investigating the economic and financial implications of EV adoption, and assessing the long-term impact of EV adoption on transportation and the environment. Collaborative interdisciplinary research is crucial for developing effective strategies for accelerating EV adoption and achieving sustainable transportation systems globally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
