vehicles in the coming decades to promote carbon neutrality. The compatibility and robustness of Li-ion based batteries make them more preferable in BEVs. A recent study has identified five different groups of Li- ion based batteries used in BEVs and applied a very simple multi–criteria decision making (MCDM) method of Weighted sum with equal criterion weights and linguistic matrix to rank the batteries. The present research work considers the same decision making problem and applies different MCDM methods to determine the criterion weights and ranking of the batteries with Triangular Neutrosophic matrix. The methodology proposed in this work works in five phases. The consistency of the neutrosophic ranking results is validated using Random forest technique, Feature importance analysis and SHAP explainability analysis. The comprehensive MCDM framework presented in this work will enable the decision makers of manufacturing company to make ideal selection of the electric vehicle batteries on comparing the ranking scores of the batteries using different methods with different criterion weights.
