Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global transition toward electrified transportation is accelerating the electric vehicle (EV) revolution and reshaping modern energy and mobility systems. Advances in power electronics, energy conversion, battery technologies, charging infrastructure, and intelligent control are central to achieving higher efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in EV platforms. At the same time, emerging devices, advanced materials, digital technologies, and grid integration strategies are redefining system architectures and performance limits.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive forum for cutting-edge research that supports the development of next-generation EV technologies and sustainable mobility solutions. The topic aligns closely with the journal’s scope by bridging fundamental device innovations, converter and drive systems, charging technologies, system integration, and life-cycle considerations.
Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced power electronics and energy conversion for EVs;
- On-board chargers and fast-charging technologies;
- Electric machines and drives for EV applications;
- Integrated EV charging and powertrain architectures;
- Wireless and contactless charging systems;
- Vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-everything technologies;
- AI and digital technologies for EVs;
- Thermal management and packaging;
- Reliability, safety, and standards;
- Emerging devices and materials;
- Sustainability and life-cycle assessment.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
