Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transport and vehicular travel are essential for socio-economic growth, as they enable the operation of cities and businesses. However, a large percentage of the transport sector still relies on internal combustion engine vehicles, causing greenhouse gases and air pollution to continuously increase. Additionally, the transport sector has become the largest energy consumer after the industrial sector. The appearance of electric vehicles offers a promising solution to this global problem. As a result, the optimization of the electric vehicle powertrain is a key area, and the motor drive system is a major component of the powertrain. The rapid development of electric vehicles has brought about higher requirements regarding the performance of motor drive systems. This has contributed to the advancement of materials, design methods, topologies, and manufacturing processes for electric machines, which require high compactness, high efficiency, high power density, and high reliability. On the other hand, the employment of motor drive systems in more critical applications demands more advanced control methods that are robust and effective.
This Special Issue is aimed at collecting the latest theoretical and technological ideas for the better development of motor drive systems in electric vehicles. Optimization design methods, new analyzing and modeling methods, advanced control strategies, and novel converter topologies are strongly welcome. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Topic A: optimization design methods of motors for electric vehicles;
- Topic B: new analyzing and modeling methods of motors for electric vehicles;
- Topic C: advanced control strategies of motor drive systems in electric vehicles;
- Topic D: novel converter topologies of motor drive systems in electric vehicles;
- Other related topics, such as literature reviews, fault diagnosis, position estimation, and industrial applications of motors for electric vehicles.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
