Therefore, there is a significant influence of 'sustainability' in tourism research. This paper aims to analyse the Bibliometric analysis of published research in the field of Electric Mobility for Sustainable Tourism, within the database of Web of Science using the keyword “Electric Mobility Tourism”.Our bibliometric review, the first in this field, is anticipated to motivate more research. The United States also has the most contributions (32 articles), accounting for most citations. Italy comes in second with 27 publications, followed by China with 24. Out of 69 publishers, Elsevier is responsible for most of the publications (26%), with MDPI at second place with 13%, and IEEE ranks as the third-largest publisher, with 33 journals (12.7%), highlighting its contribution to electrical mobility and tourism research field. Taylor & Francis, with 22 publications (8.5%), emerges fourth, followed by Springer Nature, with 20 publications (7.69%). The study reveals a significant increase in research and publications on electrical Mobility and tourism.
