Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, high-performance-power electronic converters have been widely adopted in electric vehicles. To achieve small volume, high power density, high efficiency and light weight, improving or proposing power electronic converter topologies and control methods is the fundamental approach. Thus, many AC-DC, DC-DC and DC-AC converters have been proposed in the past 20 years. However, many technical issues still exist, such as high switching loss, narrow operation voltage range, large value, volume of passive components, and so on. There is still a great amount of room for performance improvement in power converter topologies and control methods for electric vehicle applications. Thus, this Special Issue intends to highlight the latest research and demonstrate emerging topics in power electronics conversion technologies for electric vehicles.
Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions or survey papers, in which laboratory-scale hardware-based experimental results are provided to support any proposed ideas, for review and publication in this Special Issue on ‘Power Electronics for Electric Vehicle’. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Onboard chargers (OBCs), DC fast chargers (DFCs), wireless chargers and auxiliary power modules (APMs) with high power density, light weight and a wide voltage range;
- Topology, modulation and control of high-power soft switching AC-DC, DC-DC and DC-AC converters for 400V or even 800V electric vehicle systems;
- Integration designs of OBCs, APMs, and motor drives for emerging 800 V electric vehicle systems;
- Power module package, design and implementation for electric vehicle applications;
- DC-DC converters (resonant, hybrid switched capacitor, etc.) and fast dynamic responses for supplying auxiliary low-voltage loads of 12V, 5V, 3.3V, etc;
- High-frequency magnetic component design and integration for power electronic converters.

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. 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
