Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric Vehicles (EVs), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) are potential layouts to achieve the consolidated trend of electrification in the automotive sector. The design, modelling, and control strategies play a crucial role in optimizing the performance, efficiency, and reliability of these vehicles. This Special Issue of the World Journal of Electric Vehicles aims to explore the latest advancements in the field of EV, HEV, and FCEV design, modelling, and control, providing a platform for researchers to share their innovative ideas and findings.
This Special Issue welcomes original research papers, review articles, and case studies related to various aspects of EV, HEV, and FCEV design, modelling, and control strategies. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced powertrain architectures and configurations for EVs, HEVs, and FCEVs;
- Optimal battery sizing, placement, and management strategies;
- Modeling and simulation techniques for EV, HEV, and FCEV components and systems;
- Control algorithms for improving energy efficiency and range of EVs and HEVs;
- Control algorithms related to other vehicle objectives (handling, safety, thermal management);
- Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration and smart charging strategies;
- Thermal management and cooling strategies for e-powertrain and battery systems;
- Lightweight and structural solutions for battery, e-powertrain, and vehicle design;
- Safety and reliability aspects of EV systems;
- Economic and environmental considerations of EV, HEV, and FCEV technologies;
- Other innovative technologies on mobility related to electrification.
Authors are encouraged to present their research findings, innovative methodologies, and practical applications in the field of hybrid and electric vehicles. Submissions should adhere to the guidelines provided by the World Journal of Electric Vehicles.
We look forward to receiving high-quality contributions that will advance the understanding and development of design, modelling, and control strategies for hybrid and 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. World Electric Vehicle Journal is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
