The study aims to investigate the barriers and incentives influencing the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) among the youth in Ghana. With the country's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2060, the adoption of EVs is seen as a key strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, especially in the transportation sector. Despite government initiatives such as tax waivers and the Drive Electric Campaign, the transition to EVs in Ghana has been slow. This research will explore the role of fiscal and non-fiscal policies, environmental awareness, and technological interests in shaping youth attitudes towards EV adoption. Using a mixed-methods approach, data will be collected through surveys and interviews targeting Ghanaian youth to identify key factors influencing their willingness to adopt EVs. The findings will provide insights into how targeted policies and incentives can accelerate the adoption of EVs among young people and contribute to Ghana's sustainability goals.
