Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the world transitions towards a more sustainable future and seeks to reduce the carbon footprint, electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a pivotal technology in the fight against climate change and urban pollution. In the last few years, there have been rapid advancement in electric vehicles, for which the market is blooming. This Special Issue invites contributions from industrialists, professionals and academics to explore the technology development and multifaceted impact of electric vehicle technology on transportation, energy systems, industrial development, societal impacts and environmental sustainability. We seek papers that address the latest advancements in EV technology, including battery innovations, energy storage, charging infrastructure, vehicle-to-grid integration, and electric vehicle parts and components, as well as their implications in relation to research, policy, economics and social acceptance. Additionally, we encourage research that examines the challenges and opportunities in the EV market, including the role of government incentives, consumer behaviour and the potential for smart city integration. By gathering diverse perspectives, this Special Issue aims to highlight the critical importance of electric vehicles in shaping the future of mobility and advancing global sustainability goals. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case studies that contribute to the growing body of knowledge in this dynamic field.
