Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) have gained a growing interest in transport industry towards more electrified and energy-efficient powertrains. These alternatives to conventional vehicles based on internal combustion engines (ICEs), not only significantly improve the fuel economy, but also reduce the greenhouse emissions in transport sector. Nowadays, the commercialization of EVs and PHEVs has been possible in different applications (i.e., light duty, medium duty, and heavy duty vehicles) thanks to the advances in energy-storage systems and technologies, power electronics converters (incl. DC/DC converters, DC/AC inverters and battery charging systems), electric machines, control strategies, and transmission systems.
This Special Issue is focused on the recent advances in electric vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles that address the new powertrain developments and go beyond the state-of-the-art (SOTA).
Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions/ articles for review and for possible publication in this Special Issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Architecture of EV and PHEV;
- Novel propulsion systems;
- Emerging power electronics interfaces and their control algorithms;
- Emerging electric machines and control techniques;
- EVT and E-CVT for EVs, HEVs (Hybrid electric vehicles) and PHEVs;
- Multiple Energy Sources for HEVs, Fuel cell vehicles, etc.;
- Energy storage technologies;
- Battery management systems (BMS);
- Energy management strategies for HEVs and PHEVs;
- Design optimization for EVs, HEVs and PHEVs;
- Vehicle-to-grid (V2G), vehicle-to-home (V2H), Grid-to-vehicle (G2V) technologies;
- Wireless Power Transfer systems (WPTs) for EVs and PHEVs;
- Low-voltage powertrains;
- Environmental and socio-economical aspects of electromobility (LCA, TCO)

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.
