This prevents the economy from taking advantage of these types of resources. The emergence of the electric vehicles (EVs) industry has been a primary catalyst for both the expansion of the economy and the production of new employment opportunities. The manufacturing and distribution of electronic automobiles have cleared the way for the construction of new manufacturing locations as well as a supply chain. This has been made possible as a result of the increased demand for EVs.
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this article are to know the overall impact of EVs on the environment through a review of the literature and to study if ongoing changes affect the economy of India.
METHODS: The systematic review of literature is used to fulfil the objectives of the study.
RESULTS: EVs offer a solution to reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions due to their zero tailpipe emissions. They eliminate pollutants like nitrogen oxide and particulate matter, improving air quality and public health. EVs, powered by renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or hydroelectric power, reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Their higher energy efficiency and technological advancements in batteries also create employment and innovative economic opportunities. Additionally, EVs contribute to quieter and more serene environments, especially in densely populated areas, due to their silent operation.
CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that the adoption of EVs has both positive and negative impacts on economy countries. But as compared to negative impacts, positive impacts are very high on the economic condition of any country.

An accurate prediction of wind speed is more important for wind energy systems, but it is difficult due to its uncertain nature. This paper presents three artificial neural networks namely, Back Propagation Network (BPN), Radial Basis Function (RBF) and Nonlinear AutoRegressive model process with eXogenous inputs (NARX) with Mutual Information (MI) feature selection for wind speed prediction. The MI feature selection identifies the significant features and reduces the complexity of wind speed prediction model without loss of information content. The performance of prediction model is evaluated in terms of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). The results show that the performance of all three neural network models are highly satisfied. Moreover, NARX model with mutual information feature selection is more accurate in dealing with wind speed prediction.

Today, various types of these mechanisms are classified based on the structure, type of joints, and degree of freedom. An important and basic planar mechanism providing three degrees of freedom at the end-effector (movable platform) is a 3-RRR linkage. The forward kinematics in parallel mechanisms is a multi-solution problem and involves cumbersome calculations compared to inverse kinematics. With forward kinematics, the input kinematic parameters for any manipulator are known, and the end effector coordinate must be determined. The kinematic equations are generated with mechanics principles, and Jacobian matrices are formulated, With the Jacobian matrix, the regular workspace and dexterous workspace analysis calculated. The main objective is to fabricate a model of this planar manipulation mechanism with calculated dimensions and observe the practical workspace and dexterous workspace available at the end effector. The practical workspace and calculated workspace is presented in this paper. This final output data is useful for manipulator designers to design manipulators for different applications. In addition to this, the stress analysis is performed with Ansys software’s help to estimate the moving platform’s failure zone.
