Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The urgent global shift toward sustainable transportation has positioned electric vehicles (EVs) as a crucial point in addressing climate change, energy security, and urban air quality. This transition is being propelled by transformative engineering breakthroughs in energy storage, power electronics, electric macihnes, and integrated vehicle systems. Over the past decade, technologies such as high-density lithium-ion batteries, silicon carbide (SiC) inverters, high-power-density permanent magnet machines, and intelligent energy management systems have elevated EVs from experimental prototypes to mainstream commercial solutions.

Yet, critical engineering challenges persist in optimizing performance, safety, and scalability—particularly in integrated and high-density electric drive systems, efficient thermal management, and cost-effective manufacturing for mass prodoction. This Special Issue highlights cutting-edge engineering solutions to address these barriers, emphasizing innovations that bridge laboratory research and industrial deployment.

Submissions are invited on the following topics (including but not limited to):

  • Advanced battery systems;
  • Electric machines and drivetrain innovations;
  • Power electronics and energy conversion;
  • Thermal and energy management;
  • System-level optimization and testing.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
