Due to the problems caused by the gasoline engine on the environment and people, the automotive industry has turned again to the electrical powered vehicle. There is growing environmental awareness, increased innovation, growing consumer acceptance, government support of infrastructure and financial subsidies, and investments by OEMs (original equipment manufacturer), and therefore an increasing demand for EDVs. But there are still many issues with EDVs that need to be resolved in the near future. In addition, EDVs have a promising future, although it’s going to be a long journey to get close to ICEVs, which have existed for more than a century. This study explains how the challenges facing EDVs will be solved and how they will be made sustainable in Asia and the world. The world’s largest EDV auto market is in Asia, specifically China, Japan, South Korea, India and some others southeast Asian countries and regions although the automobile industry worldwide has been providing consumers with a broad range of EDVs, Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), Battery Electric Vehicles (EVs), Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) and others. This paper demonstrates some of the advantages and disadvantages of EVs and gives a brief view of the technological development of these cars.}, pages = {39--69}, title = {Sustainability and Challenges of Electrical Vehicles in Asia}, volume = {48}, year = {2020} }
