Driver Identification Methods in Electric Vehicles, a Review

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper shows an interesting and comprehensive review of driver identification in cars. 

Figure 2 shows the structure of the paper - is too simple to be useful. Please make it more elaborated or delete it.

In Fig. 3 "on borad"  please check carefully the whole paper for misspellings.

Fig. 3 is again very simplistic. Is it really useful for the reader?

The main problem I recognize is the lack of direct comparison of results taken from different publications and the lack of deeper discussion of obtained results. The paper shows a simple enumeration without a broader discussion.

Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript entitled "The Identification Methods of Driver in Electric Vehicles, A Review" presents a comprehensive review for the identification methods of drivers. 

The manuscript is well written, easy to follow and well structured. Some suggestions for the authors:

-in my opinion, the comma should be removed from the title. a new title should be agreed between authors and send to the editor for validation  

- pay attention the use of acronyms: they are defined where they are used first and used as acronyms in the rest of the paper. In lines 31,32 and 37, a bunch of acronyms are introduced but they where not defined before. Please check the remaining of the document for similar aspects as the acronym are use wildly and not defined where they should. It give the impression that the manuscript was assembled from different parts of other papers;

-Tables and Figures that were not created by the authors, should have referenced the source. for e.g figures 5-6 seems to not be created by the authors but no sources is referenced. please check the remaining of the document for similar issues;

-paragraph 2.4 contains no sentence, only a table. this is not professional at all, as the table can be referenced from a word, no need for a subchapter for that. please make correct this issue;

- in my opinion, is not clear what are the contribution of this paper to the literature besides lit review. I was hopping that the conclusion, results and discussion section will clear this aspect. As it did not, I suggest authors to restructure the last section in order to highlight the contributions .

Authors provided good research work but there are some minor flaws as listed below

> Abstract need to be modified in a precise way

> Intro section need to improvise with more recent trends in EV and impacts as well with below references.

> Intro needs to add highlights of the paper.

> Summary should be clear need to modify in the shorter version.

Round 2

Reviewer 1 Report

Please take care about using the same type of fonts in figures, see Fig. 2 and 3 - both use different fonts (serif and sans-serif).

The paper is now much improved but still, some minor problems remain.

I don't need to see the improved version again.
