Keywords:
Bluetooth connectivity, Electric Vehicles (EVs), GPS tracking, Internet of Things (IoT), Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X)Abstract
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are transforming the automotive industry with their eco-friendly operation and advanced technological integrations. The incorporation of smart features such as Bluetooth connectivity, GPS tracking, intelligent battery management, autonomous driving, and IoT integration has significantly enhanced the user experience, safety, and energy efficiency of EVs. These features not only provide better vehicle control but also enable real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, and seamless connectivity. Additionally, innovations like Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication and Over-The-Air (OTA) software updates have further improved traffic management, road safety, and continuous software enhancement. Despite the advancements, challenges such as cybersecurity risks, high costs, and infrastructure limitations remain. This study provides an in-depth discussion of the smart features in electric vehicles, their scope, objectives, challenges, and future potential in shaping modern transportation.
