Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development and deployment of Electric Vehicles (EVs) present complex design and engineering challenges, especially for the battery system. Within this research field, several areas still require a significant amount of research and development (R&D), especially in terms of battery materials and safety. For the materials used in the battery system, it is important to look for renewable and sustainable eco-friendly options. This not only applies to materials that are being used in the batteries but also to the battery housing and respective components.
In addition, incidents of batteries emitting smoke or catching fire after accidents have also raised safety concerns for the EVs, their batteries and the passengers. Henceforth, this area is also in significant need of R&D. Therefore, the national and international safety tests based on a variety of standards and regulations that are required for the approval of batteries will also be focused on in this Special Issue.
Overall, this Special Issue aims to publish high-quality research papers on (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Electric vehicle battery development;
- Battery materials;
- Eco-friendly sustainable battery materials;
- Renewable battery housing materials;
- Electric vehicle and its battery safety;
- Battery safety tests;
- Battery safety standards and regulations;
- Electric vehicle battery components.
