Electric vehicles (EVs) are now being presented as a resolution for the problem of dependence of fossil fuels, increasing emissions, and other environmental issues. The study explores the neighborhood attitudes toward green mobility and the objective of this paper is to investigate and examine neighborhood perceptions and understand their knowledge towards the electric vehicle. The research paper goal necessitated the attitudes of the underserved community towards green mobility. Following the literature review research phase, the researcher conducted a number of semi-structured interviews survey with the Edmonton Height underserved community. In summary, the analysis examined residents perceptions and attitudes toward EVs and EV policy, in order to better understand perceived barriers to EV ownership and identify what sort of public policies would residents realize presumably to assist them to opt for electron volt for his or her next vehicle. The data analysis indicates the respondent's attitudes to EVS & EV policy to consider purchasing or leasing a plug-in electric vehicle shows that 50% of the respondents favored lower purchase price while 25% indicated that being able to drive 200 miles on a fully charged battery and 15% indicated that having access to plug in-vehicle charging stations of their workplace. The paper concludes that the respondents biggest concerns toward owning a plug-in electric vehicle is that there are too few if any, public charging stations where they travel, and also the issue of government policies should make it easier to own plug-in vehicles.
