"Electric Vehicles" Section: Review Papers
This special issue belongs to the section “E: Electric Vehicles“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric vehicles (EVs) are impacting the aerial, terrestrial, and marine transportation sectors due to energy conservation, emission reduction, and pollution prevention. However, the transition from fossil fuels to electric propulsion is a complex task, involving many open challenges, such as the design of advanced EV, the production of energy storage systems (ESS), and the development of adequate aviation, land, and naval infrastructure. In order to enable more scholars to quickly understand cutting-edge technologies in the field of EVs, this collection focuses on review papers in the field, including but not limited to:
- Ground EVs;
- Airborne EVs;
- Seaborne EVs;
- Electrically powered spacecraft;
- Autonomous and connected vehicles;
- Battery/ultracapacitor/fuel cell;
- Charging technologies;
- Energy and battery management systems;
- EV market and policy;
- Electric drive systems and component technologies;
- Grid integration of EVs;
- Safety aspects and information security issues of EVs.
