Abstract

The evolution of electric vehicles has emerged among the possible strategies towards achieving energy security. The amount of data produced is growing very fast, providing opportunities for information discovery through big data analysis. This study undertakes a comprehensive data analysis of electric vehicles produced from 1997 to 2024, exploring the development trends on data evaluation system that considers electric vehicle models, types (Battery Electric Vehicles - BEV, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles - PHEV, Clean Alternative Fuel Vehicle - CAFV Eligibility), electric vehicle range, and base Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price. Data analysis employs k-means as an unsupervised machine learning algorithm for dataset partitioning into clusters. Factor analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were also employed as supervised learning methods to explore patterns in the dataset without specific emphasis on underlying factors while retaining maximum variance. Further visualizations were carried out using scatterplots, correlation matrices, contingency tables, density plots, and box plots. This study was able to uncover dynamic directions and future industry trends in addressing significant challenges in sustainable development, the study recommends the use of datasets with increased observations spanning the period from 2020 to 2024 with emphasis on electric vehicle prices and their electric ranges. These are essential factors for a comprehensive understanding of the electric vehicle market.
