The worldwide transition to electric vehicles (EVs) presents a viable approach to diminish dependence on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions. This study introduces a MATLAB-based simulation model intended to evaluate the viability of implementing electric vehicles (EVs) in Malawi Africa, with the objective of diminishing reliance on imported oil. The model assesses the energy, economic, and environmental effects of electric vehicle adoption in urban and rural areas by analyzing local driving patterns, energy consumption data, and grid capacity factors. The MATLAB simulation integrates essential EV components, including battery performance, motor efficiency, and charging infrastructure requirements, to evaluate possible fuel savings and pollution reductions. Findings suggest that electric vehicles (EVs) may substantially decrease fuel consumption and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions; however, physical and economic obstacles, like the necessity for charging stations and battery recycling facilities, persist. This study offers significant insights into the advantages and obstacles of electric vehicle adoption in developing nations, putting up particular laws and incentives to encourage the construction of infrastructure and the general use of electric vehicles. The results advocate for the shift to electric mobility in Malawi, providing a route to enhanced energy autonomy and sustainability.
