      abstract = {This research paper focuses on advancing sustainable transportation in Mississippi through the adoption and integration of electric vehicles (EVs). It explores opportunities for state policymakers to support the growth of electric vehicles by offering incentives, expanding charging infrastructure, and promoting renewable energy sources such as solar and wind to power sustainable transport options. The study also addresses the critical need for safe disposal and recycling of electric vehicle batteries and existing fossil fuel-powered vehicles to ensure environmental sustainability. The paper provides a strategic framework for policymakers, leveraging existing federal incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and proposing additional incentives at the state level to encourage a shift towards increased adoption of electric vehicles in Mississippi.},
