New Trends in Electric Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

The unstoppable increase in the use of electric vehicles in our society and the need to achieve similar performances as current vehicles, is determining the application and development of new technologies, which improve the performances of electric vehicles. We can observe new trends not only in the design and configuration of vehicles, but in the application of new technologies that improve the effectiveness and sustainability of the use of these vehicles.

This special issue entitled "New trends in Electric Vehicles" invites you to write articles that try to show the new trends that are being used in the development of future electric vehicles, and that address, among other topics; systems and equipment for determining the available autonomy in real time, through the incorporation of sensors that allow the measurement of external and internal variables to determine vehicle consumption, trip planning and optimization systems based on the calculation of the expected consumption based on the route to be followed and the available autonomy, incorporation of new materials and new platform designs that reduce the weight of vehicles, better energy storage systems and possible combinations, alternative energy collection and generation systems, developments of elements that reduce rolling and aerodynamic losses, and incorporation of more efficient traction and motorization systems. In addition, will be of special interest those articles that present applications on automobiles, heavy duty vehicles as well as light vehicles, both for freight and passenger’s transport.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
