Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly being embraced by governments, industries, and consumers due to their environmental and economic benefits. The charging needs of EVs may present a great challenge to the power grid. However, EVs might also be considered as a source of energy storage that can support more efficient and resilient operation of power grids. For instance, EVs could contribute to peak load leveling of power grids via vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies. This Special Issue is seeking contributions regarding the application of V2G strategies in the smart grid environment.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- V2G strategies for electrified passenger vehicles, transit bus systems, delivery systems, freight transport, etc.;
- V2G strategies to support efficient operation of power grid;
- V2G strategies to support power grid resilience;
- Economic analysis of V2G strategies;
- Impact of V2G on battery life;
- V2G strategies for renewable energy integration.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
