The use of alternative energy sources rather than fossil fuels will be unavoidable in the nearish term due to rising levels of toxic residues that threaten natural life and human health. Furthermore, the use of fossil fuels puts subsequent generations in danger from environmental damage and climate change. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs), an environmentally friendly kind of vehicle, are important in light of transportation's significant contribution to the carbon footprint. In light of the recent fast growth of the BEV industry, it has become more important to consider all available BEV options from the perspective of the end-user. Each BEV's fundamental characteristics may be examined in order to make this evaluation. For the correct BEV buying choice, MCDM strategies are useful. As a result, eleven battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are considered in this study. A variety of multi-criteria methodologies are used to rate these cars on the basis of their technical specifications, such as acceleration, pricing, battery life, and range. It is then used entropy weight and TOPSIS approaches to gather findings from different MCDM strategies. The entropy method is used to compute the weights of the criteria. Then the TOPSIS is used to rank the options. The 3 key considerations for BEV choosing are "price," "permitted load," and "energy usage," with Tesla Model S emphasized as the preferred route.
