Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid global transition toward electric mobility is reshaping both power and transportation systems, creating urgent demands for advanced methodologies that address their deepening interdependence. Electric vehicle (EV) power systems no longer function as isolated onboard energy units; instead, they are increasingly coupled with intelligent charging infrastructures, dynamic grid operations, and real‑time traffic networks. This evolution calls for holistic approaches that integrate power electronics, control theory, communication protocols, and system‑level coordination. In this Special Issue, we aim to explore innovative design, control, and integration strategies for EV power systems, with particular emphasis on bridging the gap between power grid stability, traffic flow efficiency, and multi‑stakeholder decision making.
We are especially interested in contributions that leverage game‑theoretic models, optimization frameworks, and coordinated control schemes to address challenges such as smart charging, vehicle‑to‑grid (V2G) services, routing and charging coordination under traffic constraints, and resilient integration of distributed energy resources. Both theoretical advancements and practical implementations—including prototypes, simulation platforms, and field demonstrations—are welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- EV integration to power grids: smart charging, V2G, and grid support services;
- Coordination of power system and traffic system for EVs;
- Game theory for EV charging markets, pricing mechanisms, and multi‑agent interactions;
- Optimization methods for EV power system planning, scheduling, and control;
- Modeling of coupled transportation and power networks under high EV penetration;
- Control architectures for onboard EV power systems and charging infrastructure;
- Integration of renewable energy and storage with EV charging networks;
- Data‑driven and AI‑based approaches for EV power system management;
- Cyber–physical security and resilience of EV‑grid‑traffic systems.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
