    National Strategy for Road Transportation Electromobility
    Adesoji, Tolulope (2022)
    This paper explores the challenges and opportunities in transitioning from fossil fuel vehicles to electric vehicles in the road transportation sector. This paper focuses on the pivotal role of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles (EVs). The study advocates the need for comprehensive strategies, which include national policies, rebates, tax credits, and battery recycling investments to help mitigate environmental impacts, reduce carbon emissions, and stimulate economic growth. The paper also emphasizes the importance of recycling spent batteries while scrutinizing the environmental and social consequences of raw material mining for battery production. The paper also proposed strategies to balance promoting electromobility and addressing potential equity and environmental concerns while offering a holistic perspective on the sustainable evolution of road transportation.
