Electric Vehicles: Simulation, Modeling and Optimization

Dear Colleagues,

The ongoing global transition toward sustainable energy positions electric vehicles (EVs) at the forefront. Three key factors lead to this transition: tightening environmental regulations, rising consumer demand for clean transportation, and rapid technological advances in the battery industry. In recent years, successive breakthroughs in energy storage and the power battery industry have delivered unprecedented growth in the EV market. These innovations are fundamentally reshaping the global automobile industry, leading to new approaches to vehicle design, energy management, and system integration.

Despite the progress, significant technical challenges hinder the current EV industry from fulfilling modern society’s urgent demand for sustainable transportation. Key challenges for EV development include, but are not limited to, improving energy efficiency, extending battery life, enhancing thermal management, optimizing charging infrastructure, and ensuring reliable performance under diverse operating conditions. Researchers and engineers require advanced simulation, modeling, and optimization techniques to address these challenges. This Special Issue compiles cutting-edge research on computational and experimental approaches that expedite the development of the EV industry by bridging the gap between theory and practice; highlights methodologies with high commercialization potential; and serves as a forum offering innovative solutions that address both current limitations and future requirements in electric mobility.

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. 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.
