Advanced Electrical Machine and Power Electronics for the Charging and Drive System of Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Dear Colleagues,

Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly transforming the automotive landscape, offering sustainable and energy-efficient transportation options. The effectiveness and efficiency of EVs hinge on the design and control of their drive systems, encompassing motors, power electronics, energy management, and integration with other vehicle components. In the realm of electric vehicles, electrical machines have evolved into sophisticated and highly efficient devices designed to meet the demands of modern transportation. These machines play a critical role in converting electrical energy into mechanical power, whether for propelling the vehicle or regenerating energy during deceleration. Power electronics, on the other hand, form the bridge that connects the vehicle to the charging infrastructure and ensures the safe, efficient conversion of electrical energy. They enable fast charging, bidirectional energy flow, and power management, revolutionizing how we charge our EVs and manage energy in the grid. 

This Special Issue seeks to advance the understanding of electric vehicle drive systems, exploring the latest innovations and addressing the challenges. We invite researchers, engineers, and experts in this field to submit their original research, review articles, and insights to foster knowledge exchange and shape the future of electric mobility.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
