State Estimation and Efficient Charging Strategies for Lithium-Ion Batteries in Electric Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

Electric vehicles have achieved rapid development and popularity in the passenger car market due to their superior driving performance and green environmental characteristics. Lithium-ion battery packs are the power core of electric vehicles, though the degradation mechanism of lithium-ion batteries is complex, making it difficult to estimate the state of health and safety of such batteries. Improper charging and discharging control can easily lead to safety issues with such batteries. Conducting research on state estimation and charging and discharging optimization strategies for batteries is vital for enhancing the competitiveness and safety of new energy vehicles.

This Special Issue will provide an outlet for novel and original research on all aspects of prognostics and health management of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, as well as electric vehicle charging circuit topology and electric vehicle charging strategy optimization, including experiments, characterization, mechanisms, modeling, algorithms, systems, etc.

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. World Electric Vehicle Journal 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 1400 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.
