Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Whether in developed countries or emerging economies, convenient and efficient transportation is the backbone of economic prosperity. However, it brings crises such as energy shortages, environmental pollution, health hazards, and traffic congestion that cannot be ignored. Electric vehicles (EVs) are the key to solving the challenges of sustainable urban transportation and the first choice for greener and smarter travel.
At this stage, the promotion and large-scale commercialization of EVs still face some major challenges such as range anxiety, insufficient basic charging facilities, grid and management pressure, and excessive charging time. Emerging EV technologies and trends including wireless charging, smart electricity grids, Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technologies, connected vehicles (CVs), autonomous driving, shared mobility, and battery recycling and reuse technologies will greatly benefit EV stakeholders and further promote EV adoption. Combining emerging technologies will also make EVs greener and smarter. At present, the academic community has begun to explore the interdisciplinary synergy of these emerging EV technologies, evaluate the economic and environmental benefits of new EV technologies, and provide clearer development paths and recommendations for the future development of EVs.
Therefore, exploring new trends and novel technologies for electric vehicles is an indivisible part of real-izing social sustainable development and greener and smarter transportation in the future. This special topic attempts to bridge between the transportation research community and emerging technologies. We will focus on state-of-the-art progress concerning all aspects in the realm of new trends and emerging technologies in EVs, foster the discussion of recent achievements, and identify the gap between the basic research and practical application to speed up EV development.

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.
