“…The above investigation studies have indicated that energy consumption causes an increase in economic development. However, increasing fossil fuel consumption depletes the quality of the environment (Amin & Dogan, 2021;He et al, 2021;Koondhar et al, 2018;Kwasi Sampene et al, 2022).…”

The affiliation between energy consumption (ENC) and economic progress (ECP) has a significant environmental concern. The role of human capital (HUC) in lessening the depletion of the natural environment has been extensively researched. However, as a moderating variable, the affiliation between energy consumption and environmental deterioration (EVD) is novel in the literature. This study explores economic progress, environmental taxes (ENT), urbanization (URB), and trade openness (TRO) in the Visegrad Four nations (V4): Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, using data from the WDI and OECD databases from 1994 to 2021. The second-generational panel unit root (CIPS and CADF) was employed for series stationarity. Pedroni and Westerlund's cointegration estimations were used to validate the series' long-term affiliation. The investigation applied the common correlated mean group (CCMG), augmented mean group (AMG), and fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) as a rousted test. The panel causality of Dumitrescu and Hurlin was used to check for causality. The regression results demonstrated that economic progress and energy consumption had a significant favourable link to environmental deterioration, confirming the EKC hypothesis. Similarly, urbanization and openness had a positive nexus with EVD. Environmental taxes and human capital lessen the depletion of ecological quality. The results demonstrated an inverse nexus when human capital was moderated by energy consumption and environmental deterioration. The research suggests that education enrollment and awareness about emissions would lessen the use of non-renewable energy in the Visegrad nations. Finally, the study made several policy recommendations for decision- and policymakers in the V4 regions to combat climate change and increase sustainable energy use.

“…However, Salahuddin et al ( 2019 ) investigated the influence of urbanization and globalization on South Africa from 1980 through 2017 revealed that urbanization increases CO 2 . Using a panel data and macroeconomic model to estimate levels of CO 2 in the EU from 2000 to 2019, Busu and Nedelcu ( 2021 ) and Sampene et al ( 2022 ) conclude that urbanization positively affects CO 2 emissions; thus, this study asserts that URB will have a positive interaction with CO 2 .…”

The relationship between battery electric vehicles (BEV) and carbon dioxide emission (CO 2 ) has significant environmental outcomes. Notwithstanding, battery electric vehicles have not been extensively explored through econometric approach. For countries to meet their net zero targets, it is crucial to consider the role of battery electric vehicles, renewable energy consumption, and CO 2 . As a result, it is critical to scrutinize a variety of variables that contribute to a sustainable future. This study therefore examines the dynamic correlation between BEV, gross domestic product (GDP), urbanization (URB), renewable energy consumption (REC), population (POP), and CO 2 in five leading countries (the United States of America (USA), China, France, Germany, and Norway) using panel data from 2010 to 2020. The study adopted the Westerlund cointegration method to ascertain the long-term nexus among the series. The cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag CS-ARDL technique is adopted to evaluate the variables long-run elasticity. The study applied the common correlated effect mean group (CCEMG) and augmented mean group (AMG) approach to ascertain the robustness of the long-run relationships among the variables. Dumitrescu and Hurlin’s panel causality analysis determines the extent of the significant causality linkage. The results demonstrate that increased economic growth, urbanization, and population growth accelerate carbon emissions and environmental depletion. However, BEVs were found to be more energy efficient and the adoption of renewable energy through the manufacturing and battery production process would reduce CO 2 emission especially in China and the USA. Finally, the research proposed several policy implications for policy and decision-makers in the five leading countries for combating climate change and increasing productivity in the electric vehicle market and renewable energy consumption.
