Electric Vehicles Energy Management, 2nd Volume

Dear Colleagues,

The current Topic "Electric Vehicles Energy Management, 2^nd Volume" aims to build upon the achievements of its predecessor Topic, “Electric Vehicles Energy Management”, maintaining the continuity of advancement and delving deeper into the intricacies of managing energy in the realm of hybrid and electric vehicles. Continuing in this trajectory, the present Topic endeavors to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration among researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry practitioners to bring together cutting-edge research, innovative technologies, and real-world insights, and aspires to catalyze advancements that drive the widespread integration of hybrid and electric vehicles into our transportation ecosystem.

In this context, we invite contributions that explore methodologies, tests, algorithms, models, and technologies aimed at optimizing energy utilization, enhancing vehicle performance, extending battery life, and improving overall system efficiency in electric and hybrid vehicles. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Energy-efficient powertrain design, sizing, and control.
• Predictive energy management strategies.
• Advanced battery management systems.
• Life cycle assessments.
• Minimized drivetrain cost/energy consumption/environmental impact.
• Extended-range analyses and trajectory planning.
• Vehicle-to-grid and grid-to-vehicle integration and protocols.
• Connected and non-connected self-driving vehicle energy management.
• Smart charging infrastructures.
• Sustainable mobility solutions and policy frameworks.

We encourage researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders from academia, industry, and government agencies to contribute original research articles, review papers, and case studies that shed light on the latest advancements and best practices within the discipline.
