Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric vehicles offer potential for significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions associated with transport. However, the underlying technology is very different from that of a vehicle powered by a traditional internal combustion engine. The key components of the new generation, such as the powertrain, energy storage system, and thermal management system, often require careful optimization and control to perform at their best; similarly, the way in which fleets of vehicles are used to deliver a service can require careful analysis and design to work around constraints, e.g., range, in present-day vehicles.
This Special Issue seeks to explore current topics in the application of optimization and control to electric and hybrid-electric vehicles.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Active vehicle dynamics and chassis control;
- Battery management, monitoring and prognosis;
- Powertrain control and electrical machines;
- Thermal management, including HVAC;
- Component sizing and optimization;
- System identification and control-oriented modelling;
- State estimation, monitoring and prognosis;
- Fault detection and mitigation;
- Optimization of fleet-level operations;
- Development and applications of advanced control techniques.

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.
