Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the second edition of the successful Special Issue “Electro-Thermal Modelling, Status Estimation and Thermal Management of Electric Vehicles”.
With increasing pollutant emissions and the growing energy crisis, modern transportation is on the verge of a major paradigm shift. At present, electric vehicles (EVs) are seeing increasing popularity. In keeping with this trend, energy storage systems (ESSs) such as batteries have undergone significant development in the last decade. As the requirements for user experience and EV safety increase, so does the use of fast charging (FC) technologies, battery heating systems, thermal runaway suppression, and so on. These technologies require EVs to have a more advanced battery thermal management system (BTMS), which can cool or heat the battery quickly, estimate the battery SOT precisely, and extend the battery lifespan through the optimum management of battery temperature, all at a low energy cost. Innovations in battery thermal management technology are thus critical from a material and physical point of view. High-fidelity modeling, new cooling/heating structures, novel architectures of BTMS, and fault-tolerant management of ESS are also vital for the future of safe electric transportation. This vision can be facilitated by emerging technologies, such as new batteries (solid-state, lithium titanate oxide, and lithium–air sodium-based batteries, among others), advanced power electronics, intelligent management, environment-adaptive control, etc. This Special Issue seeks to highlight original research on recent innovations with unique applications in electric transportation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Modeling, analysis, control, and management of batteries;
- New structure for battery thermal management systems;
- Advanced heating control methods for batteries;
- Design methodology and control strategies for BTMSs;
- Battery thermal runaway and methods for its suppression;
- Application of batteries in extreme high/low temperatures.

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.
