| Abstract | ||||
| The effect of human activity over the years has led to global warming on the planet. Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are the main causes of global warming (Pachauri and Mayer 2015). These emissions have led largely to the increase in concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (Ch4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the atmosphere from the pre-industrial era ( (Pachauri, R. K., and L. Mayer, 2015). It is appraised that between 1970 and 2010, emission of CO2 from fossil fuels constituted 78% of GHG emissions (Pachauri, R. K., and L. Mayer, 2015)). Green goods is Purchased of is growing amongst customers and organizations. Also, vehicle manufacturing companies worldwide employ, safety, and green technologies and methods when manufacturing cars to reduce the harm on human beings and the environment ( (Karurkar, et., al., 2018)). Thus, Green marketing provide helpful effect on health and the environment. It also promotes coordinated cleanliness efforts in both production and consumption. At the same time, people are aware of natural products and pure way of products' manufacturing, consuming, and disposing. ( (M.D., P., & Akhil, A., 2017)). On one hand, environmentally friendly vehicles, have low noxious emissions and fuel-efficient, with different types of environmental vehicles offered on the market, involving hybrid vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, electric vehicles, and solar vehicles (Joshi, N., & Rao, P. S., 2013)). These developments have compelled Supranational Organizations like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and various governments around the world to develop strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to ensure sustainable development. One of the strategies is to ensure sustainable transport by introducing electric vehicles. This has been done in several countries including the Netherlands, Germany, the United States, Spain, Norway, China, etc. Electric vehicles – hybrid electric (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV), or battery electric vehicle (BEV) technologies – provide the promise for a steady decline of energy consumption and GHG emissions (Guo et al. 2020; Massiani 2014; Shen et al. 2012). The benefits of electric vehicles are further corroborated in a report commissioned by the European Climate Foundation (2018) which summarized that there was substantial reduction in GHG when there was a move from internal combustion engines (Kang, et., al.,, 2019); (Schuller, A., and C. Stuart, 2018); (Rothkrantz, et., al., 2013)). | ||||
