The International Symposium on Electric Vehicles (ISEV2017)

Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to contribute to our Special Issue of Energies on the theme of “The International Symposium on Electric Vehicles”.

In order to build cleaner and more efficient vehicles, automobile technology, worldwide, tends to develop in the directions of fuel decarburization, energy diversification and power electrition. Electric vehicles (EVs), which represent energy-saving and new energy automobiles, become an effective way to solve the problems of air pollution, oil shortages, larger power demands, and the sustainable development of the automobile industry, hence, attracting worldwide attention and progressing at a rapid rate. For the purpose of knowing the latest development trends, promoting international academic communication, and discussing key technologies of electric vehicles, the 2017 International Symposium on Electric Vehicles (ISEV2017) was held in Sweden, 26–29 July, 2017. The conference website is: http://www.iceee.net/isev/index.html

The theme of ISEV2017 was “Researching, Engineering, Developing and Application of Electric Vehicles”. ISEV2017 featured keynote speeches, workshops, and paper sessions. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

1. Power Electronics and Electric Motor Drives
2. Electric Machines and Actuators
3. Thermal Management, Packing, and Optimization for Traction Drive Systems
4. Battery, Battery Management, Charging Systems and Infrastructures
5. Electric, Hybrid Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle System Architectures
6. Connected and Automated Vehicles, Smart Mobility, and Vehicle Security
7. Smart Grid, Electrical Infrastructure and V2G
8. Wireless power transfer for electric vehicles
9. Electrification of Heavy-Duty and Off-Road Vehicles
10. Modeling, Simulation and Control
11. Design optimization for vehicle structures
12. Codes, Standards, Policies, and Regulations for Transportation Electrification.
