Abstract

Abstract
The study focused on the current status of electric and conventional vehicles, which was assessed in Dehradun. A vehicle is defined as a machine, such as a car, bus, truck, bike, scooter, or auto rickshaw, whether electric or non-electric, that has an engine and is used to carry passengers from one location to another. The study categorizes vehicles into two types: electric and non-electric. Both electric and non-electric vehicles are divided into three further categories. i.e., two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and four-wheelers. This study's foundation is secondary data from the preceding ten years, from 2015 to 2024, collected from reports of the RTO office of Dehradun. After gathering the data, these were analyzed by statistical tools, such as simple growth rate, five-year change, and ten-year change of electric and conventional vehicles. The result of the analysis shows that the growth of electric vehicles increased from 2015 to 2024, while a decline was observed in non-electric three-wheelers and small four-wheelers (2024 compared to 2015). It has been determined from consumer purchasing that in Dehradun, interest and behavior have shifted from non-electric to electric vehicles.
