Electric Vehicle Shared Services: A Decade of Innovation, Challenges, and Transformative Impact on Sustainable Urban Mobility — A Systematic Review
This article synthesizes a systematic literature review of 52 studies from 2014 to 2023, published in May 2025, that examines Electric Vehicle Shared Services (EVSS). The review reveals that EVSS can cut greenhouse gas emissions by 14–65% compared to traditional vehicles, but faces persistent barriers such as limited charging infrastructure, high upfront costs, and range anxiety. With over 11,800 downloads in six months, the research underscores a growing appetite for evidence-based insights. We analyze the underlying economic and technology patterns, propose a deep audit of the chicken-and-egg dilemma between infrastructure and adoption, and outline pathways for policymakers and investors to accelerate EVSS as a cornerstone of sustainable urban mobility.
