The increasing awareness of environmental issues and rising fuel costs has significantly influenced the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in semi-urban regions. This study investigates the reasons for choosing electric vehicles in the Pollachi area based on a sample of 120 respondents. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire, and analytical tools such as simple percentage analysis and the weighted mean score ranking method were applied to interpret the data. The results from percentage analysis indicate that low running cost is the most important factor influencing consumer preference, followed by environmental benefits and government incentives. The weighted mean score ranking further confirms that low running cost ranks first, while environmental friendliness and subsidies occupy the second and third positions respectively, and social status ranks last. The findings highlight that economic savings and environmental consciousness are the key drivers of EV adoption in the Pollachi region, providing valuable insights for policymakers and automobile manufacturers to promote sustainable transportation.
