Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the future trend of decarbonizing the automotive industry over the next 15 years, many automotive OEMs and governments around the world have planned to halt the production of ICE vehicles and remove them from the market between the years 2030 and 2035. Electric vehicles (EVs) are one of the most prominent solutions for encompassing future mobility requirements, and the prominence of battery EVs powered by sustainable and clean sources is evident. Due to battery capacity, lifetime, aging, and depot are some of the prominent current issues in the research field of batteries, and the design of a proper battery pack for EVs is still an open research problem which needs to be solved in order for EVs to reach optimal functionality. Powertrain technologies, especially electric motors, are also components that need to be properly designed to reduce the energy consumption of EVs according to the specifications of each car, such as mechanical and electrical specs, driving cycles, vehicle use, charging technologies, etc. This Special Issue invites the submission of original research papers that address these challenges and opportunities in the field of EV battery pack and electric motor sizing methods.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Electric vehicle batteries;
- New batteries technologies;
- Dimensioning and design of battery packs;
- Battery charging;
- Battery packaging cooling;
- Vibrations in battery packaging;
- Battery management systems;
- Recycling of battery packs;
- Electric vehicle powertrains;
- Traction motor systems;
- Electric machine design for electric vehicles;
- Design, analysis, control, and implementation of EV motor drives;
- Energy storage systems for electric vehicles.
