Abstract or project description

Electric vehicle (EV) adoption is important for meeting California’s climate goals. California governor Gavin Newsom wants to phase out gasoline cars by 2035. However, only a small fraction of the population drive EVs today. This literature review uses previous research and data to succinctly identify key barriers to individual EV adoption and policies the government can adopt to overcome these barriers in California.
