Electric vehicles are an emerging topic in organizations and society. Access to economically and environmentally workable sustainable technologies has become a priority in the face of catastrophic climate change and the discussion surrounding it. This study examines the academic literature to shed light on factors, trends, emerging models, and critical perspectives on electric vehicles and their relationship to value creation, strategic management, and sustainability. This research uses a bibliometric analysis method to explore the dynamic interaction between these essential elements of the literature. The source is the Scopus database. The analysis uses VOSviewer software 1.6.20, focusing on the bibliographic coupling of documents, which was presented as a network visualization map. It emphasizes search terms proving the emerging need for innovation strategies in automotive industry organizations, consumers, and public entities to create value within a global sustainability logic. This study highlights the relationship between the electric vehicle industry and the value creation strategy and sustainability in a digital world.
