Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles produce significantly lower noises and less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional fossil fuel-powered vehicles. Additionally, vehicles powered through electricity demonstrate improved performance and efficiency. Because of this, there is an ongoing trend of electric propulsion replacing engine propulsion. However, the high-efficiency charging and management of battery storage challenge global engineers and experts. In parallel, the smart control of charging and/or discharging will greatly aid grid operators and thus enable the coordination of large numbers of electric vehicles. This Special Issue focuses on the recent developments being made in electric vehicles, particularly those related to power and energy. It aims to lay a foundation for the further development of electric and hybrid electric vehicles in future renewable-dominated power systems.
