Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the quest for more efficient and sustainable transportation, the role of thermal energy storage systems (TESSs) in electric vehicles (EVs) has become increasingly significant. The integration of TESSs in EVs not only enhances the vehicle's performance and efficiency but also contributes to the overall sustainability of the transportation sector. Advances in materials, design methodologies, modelling tools, and manufacturing processes have driven the development of current thermal energy storage systems, which are characterized by high efficiency, compactness, low weight, and reliability. Moreover, the expanding use of EVs in various applications has accelerated research in thermal management, leading to innovations in thermal energy storage and utilization.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modelling, application, control, and condition monitoring of TESSs in EVs.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- All aspects of TESSs, including phase change materials (PCMs), thermochemical storage, and sensible heat storage;
- Integration of TESSs in EVs for enhanced thermal management;
- Materials and technologies for high-efficiency TESS;
- Novel applications of TESS in EVs;
- Advanced modelling and simulation techniques for TESS;
- Thermal management strategies for EV batteries, power electronics, in-wheel motors, and cabins;
- Impact of TESSs on EV performance and driving range;
- Energy efficiency and sustainability improvements through TESSs;
- Innovative design and optimization methodologies;
- Experimental studies and real-world applications;
- Battery thermal runaway prevention and mitigation strategies via TESSs.
We invite researchers and practitioners to submit their original research and review articles that contribute to the advancement of thermal energy storage systems in electric vehicles.

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.
