Abstract

Abstract: The automotive industry has stepped into a new era of a “pollution free and environmental friendly” world with electric vehicles. Increased awareness about environment and sustainable development has caused the leading vehicle manufacturers to produce electric and hybrid vehicles to replace the internal combustion engines. So it is very crucial for all vehicle manufacturers to be up to date with the current trends and on-going research in the field of electric vehicles. In this paper, a trend analysis will be done using bibliometric analysis, wherein data will be collected from Web of Science database from the period 1980-2020 using keywords like “Electric vehicles” and “Energy fuels” in order to identify contributions relevant in the field of electric vehicles. The data will be used to find out the on-going trends in electric vehicles research including major contributing countries, number of citations, year wise publications etc. This analysis will help researchers and academicians to understand the developments in the field of electric vehicles and organize future research in electric vehicle research.
