Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Internal combustion engine (ICE)-based vehicles have contributed considerably to air pollution. Displacement of this ICE engine with electric vehicles (EV) is one of the potential choices which can abate air pollution and make vehicles independent from oil. EVs are not only limited to just full-sized cars but also include two- and three-wheeled vehicles, which are a popular transport medium in developing countries.
Batteries, ultracapacitors, and fuel cells are the energy sources for EV. Depending on the EV type, one or multiple of these sources can be used in an EV. However, integration of the EV in the transport sector has major obstacles which include battery cost and efficiencies, the potential of the EV charging station, and the impact of EV integration to the grid. In addition, consumer readiness and willingness to pay and accept are some also non-ignorable factors which limit the widespread implementation of EVs.
As it is evident that EVs have the potential to contribute to the decarbonization of transportation, this Special Issue invites original papers and review articles on all aspects connected to EVs, batteries, fuel cells, and capacitor and consumer perspectives for EV uptake.

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. World Electric Vehicle Journal is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1400 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.
