Batteries and Electric Vehicles

Dear Colleagues;

The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has proven to be a crucial factor in decreasing the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. EV technologies are environmentally beneficial as they have the potential to minimize air pollution, airborne diseases, climate change, energy consumption, and the water footprint. This Special Issue will cover the key topics in hybrid and electric vehicles, including power trains, controls, battery management, motors, and power electronics.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Hybrid and Electric Vehicles;
• Autonomous Vehicles;
• Autonomous and Connected vehicles;
• Electric Vehicle Batteries;
• Power Wall Batteries;
• Smart Grid and Smart Cities;
• Battery Charging;
• Smart Homes;
• Application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in Residential and Commercial Facilities;
• Electronics Packaging Cooling;
• Electronics Packaging Failure;
• EMI/RFI and Compliance in Electronics Packaging;
• Shock and Vibrations in Electronics Packaging;
• Drones and Drone Delivery.
