        abstract = {Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming an important way to reduce pollution from transportation. This paper looks at how EVs affect the environment from start to finish — including the mining of materials, how they are made, the electricity they use, and what happens when they are no longer used. EVs are better for the environment than regular gas or diesel vehicles because they produce less air pollution and fewer greenhouse gases. However, making EV batteries can harm the environment because it requires mining metals and uses a lot of energy. Also, if the electricity used to charge EVs comes from coal or gas, it can still cause pollution. This study looks at both the good and bad sides of EVs and suggests ways to make them even cleaner, like recycling batteries, using solar or wind power, and mining resources more responsibly. In conclusion, EVs can help protect the environment, but their true benefit depends on making changes to how we produce energy and manage natural resources.},
