Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The electrification of transportation plays a crucial role in global decarbonization efforts. Electric vehicles (EVs) including hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are a key facilitator of this transition. Advances in energy storage technology and energy conversion technology are central to the performance improvement, reliability, and sustainability of EVs. This Special Issue aims to attract cutting-edge research in the design, modelling, optimisation, and integration of energy storage systems (batteries and fuel cells), and energy conversion interfaces in EVs. The topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following: battery energy storage systems (BESSs), hydrogen fuel cell stacks, bidirectional converters, battery and fuel cell management systems (BMS and FCMS), charging and refuelling infrastructure, thermal management, and novel hybrid energy conversion architectures.
Contributions exploring vehicle-to-grid (V2G) strategies, hydrogen-to-grid concepts, hybrid energy systems, and comprehensive lifecycle assessments are also welcome. The goal is to provide a platform for academia and industry to share insights, innovations, and challenges in developing next-generation electrified transportation technologies.

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
