AB  - The subject of this research is the evaluation of electric cars and the choice of 
      car that best meets the set research criteria. To this end, the criteria weights 
      were determined using the entropy method with two-step normalization and a full 
      consistency check. In addition, the entropy method was extended further with 
      q-rung orthopair fuzzy (qROF) information and Einstein aggregation for carrying 
      out decision making under uncertainty with imprecise information. Sustainable 
      transportation was selected as the area of application. The current work compared 
      a set of 20 leading EVs in India using the proposed decision-making model. The 
      comparison was designed to cover two aspects: technical attributes and user 
      opinions. For the ranking of the EVs, a recently developed multicriteria 
      decision-making (MCDM) model, the alternative ranking order method with two-step 
      normalization (AROMAN), was used. The present work is a novel hybridization of 
      the entropy method, full consistency method (FUCOM), and AROMAN in an uncertain 
      environment. The results show that the electricity consumption criterion (w = 
      0.0944) received the greatest weight, while the best ranked alternative was A7. 
      The results also show robustness and stability, as revealed through a comparison 
      with the other MCDM models and a sensitivity analysis. The present work is 
      different from the past studies, as it provides a robust hybrid decision-making 
      model that uses both objective and subjective information.
