Next-Generation Electric Vehicles: Advanced Charging Solutions, Battery Management System, and V2X for Future Mobility

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will focus on the technological innovations and interdisciplinary research driving the evolution of next-generation electric vehicles (EVs). It emphasizes the integration of advanced battery technologies, intelligent battery management systems (BMSs), fast and flexible charging infrastructures, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems to support the transition toward sustainable, efficient, and connected mobility. This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and reviews in the following areas:

• Battery Technologies: Solid-state batteries, lithium-ion advancements, battery chemistry, and thermal management.
• Battery Management Systems (BMSs): AI/ML-based SoC/SoH estimation, fault detection, and predictive maintenance.
• Charging Solutions: Ultra-fast charging, wireless charging, bidirectional charging, battery supported charging stations, and grid integration.
• V2X Communication: V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid), V2H (Vehicle-to-Home), and V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) technologies.
• System Integration: Modular battery systems, digital twins for battery production, and smart energy ecosystems.

By bringing together diverse perspectives from materials science, electrical engineering, computer science, and systems integration, this Special Issue seeks to encourage innovation and collaboration across academia and industry. This Special Issue also distinguishes itself by the following:

• Bridging disciplines to explore the synergistic integration of battery technologies with AI-driven management and communication systems.
• Highlighting emerging trends such as solid-state batteries, digital twin platforms, and V2X ecosystems, which are underrepresented in current reviews.
• Providing real-world applications and case studies, especially in maritime, drone, and defense sectors, which are often overlooked in mainstream EV research.
• Offering a forward-looking perspective on how these technologies can collectively shape the future of mobility, energy resilience, and smart grid interaction.
• This Special Issue will serve as a valuable supplement to the existing literature by offering a holistic and application-oriented view of the next generation of electric vehicle technologies.

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.
