Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will gather updated versions of the best papers from EVS38, the 38th International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition, which will be held from 15 June 2025 to 18 June 2025 in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The International Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS) is the world's longest, largest, and highest-spec event in the field of electric vehicles, covering various areas, including pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, and core components. The EVS is hosted by the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA), which consists of the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) in North America, the E-Mobility Europe (former AVERE) in Europe, and the Electric Vehicle Association of the Asia Pacific (EVAAP) in the Asia Pacific region, with each organizing the EVS in their region in turn. The EVS has already had a long history since its birth in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, in 1969.
Attracting global industry leaders, showcasing the latest technologies and infrastructure solutions, hosting high-level discussions, and providing a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing, the EVS also promotes research while raising public awareness of and education on the role of EVs in sustainable goals. For more information, see https://evs38.org/.
The authors of the best papers presented at EVS38 will be invited to expand their paper further to include their most recent research findings. After a second thorough round of peer review, these papers will be published in this Special Issue of the World Electric Vehicle Journal (WEVJ), the official journal of the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA) and its members. Papers selected for publication from the Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition (EVS) will be published free of any charge in this Special Issue.
