Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The use of electric vehicles (EVs) in daily life is growing as the sales of this type of vehicle increase. These sales are affected by several factors, such as high purchase costs and a lack of charging stations. Governments can help increase the large-scale adoption of EVs by offering tax discounts and stimulating the installation of charging stations.

The growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) has a variety of effects on the power system, including increased power demand, an increase in short-circuit currents, possible voltage level regulation limit breaches, and a reduction in the lifespan of power equipment. Also, the use of EVs can help reduce CO2 emissions if a high share of the power mix comes from renewable energy sources.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

  • Impact of EVs on power networks;
  • Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V);
  • EV adoption, considering economic and energy barriers;
  • Impact of EVs on the environment;
  • Adoption of EVs by our society;
  • Policies and standards for EVs.

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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
