Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the accelerating adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) worldwide, wireless power transfer (WPT) emerges as a pivotal technology to enable automated, safe, and convenient charging. Despite significant advances in resonant architectures and power electronics, comprehensive performance evaluation under real-world conditions is still lacking. Critical factors such as misalignment tolerance, varying environmental conditions, thermal effects, electromagnetic compatibility, and grid-to-vehicle interface dynamics must be systematically quantified to support system optimization, standardization, and regulatory certification.
This Special Issue, “Performance Evaluation of Wireless Power Transfer System for Electric Vehicles”, invites contributions that address theoretical analyses, experimental methods, and practical case studies for assessing WPT system performance. The Issue will facilitate knowledge exchange between researchers, industry practitioners, and standardization bodies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Efficiency analysis and improvement of wireless power transfer systems;
- Standardized test rigs, measurement protocols, and performance metrics;
- Effects of coupler design, shielding, and materials on coupling robustness;
- Thermal management, mechanical integration, and electromagnetic compatibility;
- Dynamic control strategies in wireless power transfer;
- Lifecycle assessment and sustainability considerations;
- Simultaneous power–data transfer systems for electric vehicles.
We look forward to your innovative contributions that will advance the performance benchmarks for EV WPT 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 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. Energies 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 2600 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.
