The Project Drawdown Project (a climate change mitigation project initiated by Paul Hawken and climate activist Amanda Joy Ravenhall) has described it as one in the 100 best contemporary solution. This was a brief regarding the Electric Vehicles, now let's hop on to the core of the working of these electric locomotives:

The inception in technology of Electric Vehicles began with the Internal Combustion Engine-
which used gasoline and pressure to propel the vehicles. Though being well-etched and reliable, the
gasoline was quite expensive at that time and the main focus of technology should be the
accessibility of technology to everyone, however here it wasn't the case, since the prices of
gasoline were on the higher side and that too it was a compulsion or else the vehicle won't even
start on the first place.
To counter this problem, Electric Vehicle Drivetrain was introduced where the electric
vehicles worked on the pressure and electromagnetism, which propelled the vehicles to run smoothly.
Apart from these technologies, parallelly there was another type of vehicle too, which were Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (HEC), which had a hybrid system of both normal charging and gasoline as well,
which means that if you are driving and you get out of charge, you can fill up your vehicle with
gasoline, which won't take a toll on your pocket.
The Hybrid Electric Vehicle was the first ever technology to reach in hands of people. HEV's
such Toyota Prius and Lexus CT-200-H, were the most renowned vehicles when it came to the fuel
efficiency. These vehicles have a cumulative power sharing of both internal combustion engine with a
small battery for stacking the electricity. This electricity comes from harnessing the energy though
regenerative braking (a method where the energy is extracted from the parts of brakes and is stored
to be reused). This use of regeneration of the energy is one of the causes of being the most
fuel-efficient than a typical internal combustion engine.
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle, just like original hybrid electric vehicle which is
propelled though a combination of internal combustion engine and an electric motor. Though it has a
larger battery as opposed to the hybrid one that can be conveniently charged by a charger offered by
the companies. This helps the vehicle to run for a longer period of time and reducing your
dependence on gasoline, which in turn depletes your expenses as well.
The Last, but not the least Battery Electric Vehicle technology, which includes no internal
combustion engine to begin with. This technology entails a battery and an electric-motors and has a
huge battery for all types of vehicles, though size of battery would vary based on the size of the
vehicle. It's the most energy efficient technology and is used in today's day and age as well.

The battery instilled inside an EV is made up of Lithium-ion and we all know Lithium-ion doesn't go well with extreme heating conditions and either melts the battery or simply explodes. We have seen these kinds of adversities in the countries with extreme climatic conditions, such as India. In India we get to here more often the blasts in smartphones or ear buds, which raises a concern that is lithium-ion safe and if we need an alternative what is it? And is it safe?
-
Another challenge is the number of electric vehicles is that the mindset of people still is not that much established to buy an electric car. For Example, Tesla Model 3, an all-electric and is one of the UK's best-selling cars, however only 1.1% of the new cars were sold in 2019. Now I do know that things might have changed now, however certain inhibitions regarding the purchase of an electric vehicles are still there.
-
Lack of charging Infrastructure in many countries right is another major concern. Now, I do agree that companies do provide the chargers, however if suddenly you have to reach a location far away or if you are stuck in traffic for a longer time frame, resultantly your battery will deplete and will be stuck there without any power source.

Right now, there are very limited vehicle options, if we look at the EV market, there are highly 3-4 EV's in international market and India there are EV's manufacture yet except for OLA, and Tata in cars, and rest of them comes in the motorbike segment and scooty.
