Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is a cornerstone in the global effort to pave the way for smart cities and carbon neutrality. With the rapid growth of the EV market, the demand for innovative charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies has become more pressing than ever. To expand the sustainable vehicle revolution, towards electrification, intelligence, and connectivity, this Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in EV charging and V2G technologies, addressing the challenges and opportunities in the context of modern urban environments and energy networks. The primary objective of this Special Issue is to disseminate cutting-edge research and development findings related to EV charging and V2G technologies. To highlight state-of-the-art approaches and technologies, this Special Issue will also delve into the potential of charging and V2G technologies to alleviate grid burden and enhance electricity utilization, thereby supporting the broader goals of energy sustainability and smart city development. In this context, prospective authors are invited to submit their original contributions, surveys, or tutorial papers to this Topics.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: 

  • EV charging technologies and infrastructure;
  • Interoperability of bidirectional charging;
  • Fast charging solutions and their impact on power grid and battery health;
  • Sizing and planning of EV charging infrastructure;
  • Wireless energy trading and wireless energy internet for connected EVs;
  • Impacts of V2G on grid stability and optimization methods;
  • Artificial intelligence applications in optimizing EV charging facilities;
  • Energy scheduling and dynamic power regulation of V2G regulation services;
  • Advances, cybersecurity, and data privacy in V2G, vehicle-to-home, and vehicle-to-vehicle regimes.

Smart grids with EVs have been proposed as a great contribution to sustainability. Considering environmental sustainability is of great importance to humanity, it is essential to assess whether electrical vehicles (EVs) actually contribute to improving it. The objectives of the present study are, from a macro (broad-scope) perspective, to identify the sources of emissions and to create a framework for the calculation of CO2 emissions resulting from large-scale EV use. The results show that V2G mode increases emissions and therefore reduces the benefits of using EVs. The results also show that in the best scenario (NC mode), an EV will have 32.7% less emissions, and in the worst case (V2G mode), it will have 25.6% more emissions than an internal combustion vehicle (ICV), meaning that sustainability improvement is not always ensured. The present study shows that considering a macro perspective is essential to estimate a more comprehensive value of emissions. The main contributions of this work are the creation of a framework for identifying the main contributions to CO2 emissions resulting from large-scale EV integration, and the calculation of estimated CO2 emissions from a macro perspective. These are important contributions to future studies in the area of smart grids and large-scale EV integration, for decision-makers as well as common citizens. Full article
