Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of electric vehicles (EVs) in daily life is growing as the sales of this type of vehicle increase. These sales are affected by several factors, such as high purchase costs and a lack of charging stations. Governments can help increase the large-scale adoption of EVs by offering tax discounts and stimulating the installation of charging stations.
The growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) has a variety of effects on the power system, including increased power demand, an increase in short-circuit currents, possible voltage level regulation limit breaches, and a reduction in the lifespan of power equipment. Also, the use of EVs can help reduce CO2 emissions if a high share of the power mix comes from renewable energy sources.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Impact of EVs on power networks;
- Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V);
- EV adoption, considering economic and energy barriers;
- Impact of EVs on the environment;
- Adoption of EVs by our society;
- Policies and standards for EVs.

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. World Electric Vehicle Journal is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
