Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is a continuation of the successful previous Topic “Advanced Electric Vehicle Technology, 2nd Volume” (https://www.mdpi.com/topics/DTVV1QW14T). Electric vehicles are a highly exciting topic of research and industrial development. In the last 10 years, rapid development in both electric vehicle technology and commercial activities has occurred. The number of research papers, webinars, tutorial courses, and PhD graduates in this field has rapidly increased. Commercial electric vehicles have increased in terms of both their sales and models. Electric vehicles are also a hot topic in the news and online media. However, their batteries, energy storage, packaging, and chargers still require significant research efforts. Other associated technologies, such as Vehicle-to-X and new motors and actuators, are now replacing the conventional mechanical and hydraulic systems in vehicles. Because of the demand for smart cities and robotic activities, new control methods and autonomous driving are now being applied to and developed in most vehicles. All automotive enterprises have gradually changed their models into electric versions. The associated infrastructure and government policies and standards are evolving, further adding to the significance of this area of research. Today, electric vehicle technology has been extended to vessels, underwater vehicles, air transport, and space vehicles. This technology is not restricted to electrical, electronic, and computer engineering but also extends to multi-disciplinary research.

We have initialized this Topic because we can see that the market development for electric vehicles is expanding rapidly. The next 50 years will be a transition period from fossil fuel vehicles to electric vehicles. The next 20 years are critical to electric vehicle development, and we now invite you to submit a paper to report, discuss and predict the research and development in this exciting field of science.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
