Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent European Environment Agency (EEA) reports such as ‘Electric Vehicles from Life Cycle and Circular Economy Perspectives’ or 'Transport and Environment Reporting Mechanism’ (TERM) show that the transport sector is a key economic sector in Europe.
Reports have suggested that current analysis of the transport sector relates to energy, emissions, climate, environmental noise, cleaner technologies, sustainable mobility, etc. However, a proper interpretation of the significant implications of the electric vehicles from a social and economic perspective is still scarce.
A more in-depth analysis of the bibliography indicates the existence of several gaps in both the social and the technical issues of the electric-vehicle charging process. In general, it predominates empirical research on concrete case studies over big countries. Since the complexity of the study of the electric-vehicle charging, we believe that issues such as improving quality of life (QoL), user profiles, social vehicular network, circular economy, behavior patterns, etc. are parameters to consider in simulations tools. In short, since the studies lack a holistic and multidisciplinary vision that can account for such a multidimensional and complex reality, with this Special Issue, we would like to lay the foundations towards greater interdisciplinary cooperation in addressing electric-vehicle charging is visible.
