Abstract

This article explores the development potential and challenges of new energy vehicles (NEVs) through comprehensive studies and data collection. Focusing on energy advantages, it analyzes the environmental benefits of NEVs, particularly in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing sustainability. The paper also examines the energy consumption of NEVs and evaluates their compatibility with local infrastructure, considering factors such as the adaptation of charging facilities and energy supply networks. Additionally, the article investigates global policies aimed at promoting NEVs in the context of carbon emission reduction. It highlights the varied approaches of different countries and regions in advancing NEVs, emphasizing how these policies impact the adoption and growth of the sector. By reviewing international policies, the article provides a comparative analysis of government incentives, regulatory frameworks, and industry support for NEVs, offering insights into the factors influencing their widespread deployment. This comprehensive overview underscores the importance of tailored policy strategies for overcoming barriers and accelerating the transition to cleaner, more sustainable transportation systems.
