The present review aims to identify the research trend and social sustainability of e-mobility using a four-step review methodology. Initially, 3083 publications appeared in the search on filtration applying selection criteria. The quality of the article before analysis is validated through a mixed methods appraisal tool (MMAT), leading to a sample size of 24 for content analysis. The research trends on the social aspect and sustainability highlight the role of transport in economic and social development, emphasising infrastructure development and the importance of end-user awareness in acceptance of electric vehicles and purchase intention. The EV literature highlights more on the technological aspects. Integration of social aspects in evaluating end-user perception, end-user acceptance and influence on end-user may boost EV adoption. This review analysis on the social sustainability of electric vehicles discusses why reducing carbon emissions from the transportation sector is essential to meet global national and provincial emissions targets concerning climate change and SDG7.
