In this article, the concept of an electric vehicle (EV) as a sustainable development (SD) is discussed, and the viability of the
development of electric vehicles is assessed. This study broadens the conventional definition of sustainable development by
incorporating and prioritizing crucial areas of technology, environment, and policy performance. The proposed review studies
have summarized the elements that can promote the integration of electric vehicle technology. The innovation of the EV has
just become a modern innovation. At the same time, some obstacles, such as policy and lower adoption, are resisting its goals.
To overcome this situation, electric cars have to adopt some innovative approaches that can be another path to success. The
review result shows that the proposal discusses the technological advancements of electric vehicles worldwide and paves the
way for further improvements. The results also mentioned technological development to reduce emissions and help us
understand the impact on the environment and health benefits. However, the summary would be advantageous to both
scholars and policymakers, as there is a lack of integrative reviews that assess the global demand and development of EVs
simultaneously and collectively. This review would provide insight for investors and policymakers to envisage electric mobility.
