330   $aThis book provides a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), examining their advantages and the challenges they face in today's rapidly changing world. As the planet warms and human actions are scrutinized, BEVs emerge as a potential solution. However, despite initial growth fueled by government subsidies, the momentum is waning, and manufacturers are struggling to meet imposed targets. This book delves into the shortcomings of BEVs and explores forthcoming remedies and alternative technologies. Key concepts include the political and behavioral issues surrounding BEVs, the obstacles hindering their widespread adoption, and the strategies needed to overcome these barriers. The book provides an unbiased overview of the current state of BEVs, offering insights into real-life experiences and problems foreseen. It serves as a valuable tool for understanding the claims and evolution of BEVs and their supporting infrastructure. Designed for a broad audience, this book is accessible to non-automotive engineers and those interested in the future of sustainable transportation. It bridges the gap between technical detail and high-level overview, providing a realistic projection based on leading research and available technologies. Whether you're a policymaker, industry professional, or curious reader, this book offers a grounded perspective on the future of BEVs.
