Abstract

Green investment in electric vehicles represents a pivotal shift towards a sustainable future, promising to revolutionize our transportation systems while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This research aims to probe the linkage between green investment and electric vehicles across the top 10 economies with the highest electric vehicle adoption rates (China, USA, Norway, Germany, UK, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, and South Korea). Unlike earlier studies that primarily utilized panel data methods and overlooked the individual nuances of each country, our investigation employs the advanced ‘Quantile-on-Quantile’ technique. This novel approach enables us to delve into the relationships between variables within each specific country, thereby improving the precision of our analysis. As a result, this study provides a comprehensive global viewpoint, revealing nuanced findings about each nation's distinct characteristics. The study's findings express a positive connection between green investment and the electric vehicle stock in various segments of the sample economies. Furthermore, this research highlights diverse trends in these connections within different nations. The results emphasize policymakers’ need to conduct comprehensive evaluations and develop effective strategies to address changes in both green investment and electric vehicles.
