Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles produce significantly lower amounts of noise and greenhouse gas emissions than conventional fossil fuel-powered vehicles. In addition to these benefits, vehicles powered through electricity feature performance and efficiency improvements. To this end, there is an ongoing trend of electric propulsion as a replacement to engine propulsion. However, high-efficiency charging and the management of battery storage challenge global engineers and experts. In parallel, the smart control of charging and/or even discharging will greatly facilitate the development of grid operators and thus enable a large coordination of electric vehicles. This Special Issue focuses on the recent developments in electric vehicles, particularly related to power and energy. It aims to lay a foundation for the further development of electric and hybrid electric vehicles in future renewable-dominated power systems. Topics of interest to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Power architectures of electric drivetrain;
- Multilevel converters in electric vehicles;
- Battery state-of-charge (SOC)/-health (SOH) estimation;
- Battery management systems;
- Wireless power chargers;
- Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services;
- Optimization and coordination of charging for multiple vehicles;
- Autonomous driving systems and enabling components.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
