New Journey of Energy and Electric Vehicle Revolutions-Infinities Possibilities in the Science World: In Honor of Prof. Dr. C.C. Chan’s 90th Birthday

Dear Colleagues,

The world is progressing towards electrification and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in an era of digital economy and artificial intelligence. The generation and utilization of energy, particularly renewable energy, entail electrification, such as electrified transportation, including electric vehicles, trains, ships, aircrafts, etc., which is vital for achieving the goal of net-zero emissions.

Professor C. C. Chan is a pioneer of electric vehicles and smart energy. He is the Founding & Rotating President of the World Electric Vehicle Association. He has made collective impacts and integrated contributions to research and development, policy, industry, markets, and finance, and the promotion of international collaboration for the advancement of science and technology. Consequently, he has been named Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering U.K., Honorary Fellow of Hungarian Academy of Engineering, Fellow of Ukraine Academy of Engineering Sciences, Founding Academician of World Digital Technology Academy, Fellow and Senior Advisor of the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering, Life Fellow of the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), and Honorary Fellow & Past President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. He has also received numerous prestigious awards, including the Prince Philip Medal of the Royal Academy of Engineering U.K. and the Gold Bauhinia Star of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, among others.

To celebrate Professor Chan’s outstanding life achievements, we are organizing this Special Issue, titled “New Journey of Energy and Electric Vehicle Revolutions-Infinities Possibilities in the Science World”, on the occasion of his 90th birthday.

Prospective authors are invited to submit the original contributions that include, but are not limited to, the following topics of interest:

• Engineering philosophy;
• Integration of the human world, the cyber world, and the physical world;
