<p>Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have experienced a transformative shift through the integration of quantum technology. E-transportation have emerged as significant contributors to mitigating environmental degradation, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and the conservation of energy resources. The current paper examines research progress and challenges in Quantum Enhanced Intelligent Transportation Systems (QEITS) within the context of electric vehicles in the quantum era, highlighting innovative pathways for scientific advancements. The study provides quantitative and qualitative assessment of the characteristics and growth of scientific contributions worldwide. Records relevant to the study were retrieved from the Web of Science and Scopus bibliometric databases within QEITS. Subsequently, the scientometric analysis was conducted by utilizing the CiteSpace visualization tool. It employs diverse empirical methods like publication behaviour analysis, geographical distribution analysis, document-cocitation, and keyword co-occurrence network analysis, along with systematic literature review of the identified domains of electric vehicles to reveal the current status and evolution. The findings indicated that electric vehicle energy management, quantum cryptography, optimization algorithms, Lithium-ion batteries, renewable energy generation, and electric vehicle material are the current research hotspots. Furthermore, semiconductor quantum dot, hybrid vehicles, and green smart grids are the influential research topics. Overall, the study offers potential research avenues and valuable insights to researchers and the academic community of electric vehicle research domain in QEITS.</p>
