Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is proposed to encourage further research and development in smart recharging stations for electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles.
The design of a charging station must take into account the peak power taken and the moment when it is required. In order to face this issue, the social activity should be studied: for a university with the peak of required power in the morning (when students arrive), an oriented solar system should be helpful. However, the study of the behavior of early adopters can also indicate which city should embrace a novel technology such as fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
Contributions might refresh the state-of-the-art, point out the benefits of emerging technologies, or investigate novel schemes and applications.
Original contributions including experimental validation are expected. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Design of stations with renewable plants;
- Customer behavior;
- Forecasting the diffusion of EVs or FCEVs;
- Power converters for the charge AC/DC or vehicle-to-grid DC/AC.

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. Smart Cities is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
