Abstract: 
Electric vehicles have gained significance owing to its unavoidable supporting factors including environmental impacts and climate features. It has been noticed over last few decades that the increased number of manufacturers have focused on electric propulsion-based technology either pure electric or hybrid form with the support of electric vehicles in the automotive market. The adoption of these electric vehicle has obviously increased its competitive nature while compared to traditional internal combustion engine system. Moreover, the electric vehicles (EVs) possess substantial potential, not only in minimizing carbon emission but also in assisting required energy storage to contribute to the distributed renewable generation. There exist several increases in electric vehicle usage, but their level of massive adoption and existence by automotive consumers is connected with its delivered performance. One such important feature is the autonomous electric vehicle communication networks. This research provides a comprehensive review on overview of the electric vehicles and will discuss various existing works on autonomous driving vehicles. The paper compares existing communication networks and nuances associated in the context of an autonomous electric vehicle. Also, it critiques the existing technology and provides suggestive future work in the field to make communication networks resilient. An extensive review makes it possible to ascertain future research directions in the EV research field, which would result in massive future and instantaneous EV perception in the automotive market.
