Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The market share of the global electric vehicle (EV) has taken a tremendous leap forward in the past decade. Considering the commitment to achieve carbon neutrality and carbon zero worldwide, fiscal incentives or related supporting policies, e.g., registration priority, will be provided or extended to buffer EV purchases from the downturn in car markets. Therefore, it is sensible to expect an exponential acceleration in EV registration around the world in the following years.
On the other hand, although EVs are gradually becoming more competitive in some countries in terms of a total cost of ownership basis, the driving range degradation caused by battery aging; the battery’s long charging time; and the cost, production, and environmental protection issues caused by strong demand for electrochemical cell-based batteries. Hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) are one of the more promising solutions that can be implemented to address these concerns. Battery–supercapacitors, battery–hydrogen fuel cells, and other battery–high power/energy density chemistries are proposed to improve EV performance in terms of driving range, charging time, battery capacity degradation by aging, and so on.
This Special Issue is expected to provide a platform through which the latest developments on HESS for electric vehicles can be shared. Researchers in this field are encouraged to contribute their scientific innovations, application-of-use cases, state-of-the-art reviews, and benchmarking studies. The following topics are welcomed, but submissions are not limited to the list of topics below:
- Design, system engineering, and field applications of HESS for EV;
- Modeling, simulation, testing, and verification for renewable energy sources in HESS;
- Coordination sizing and energy management of HESS;
- Power conversion electronics for renewable energy sources;
- Power electronic architectures for HESS;
- Aging mechanisms of power converters and energy storage devices;
- Online estimation of state-of-charge, state-of-health, and state-of-power;
- Aging modeling and lifetime prediction;
- Power electronic architectures for HESS;
- Solid-state battery technology;
- Hydrogen fuel cell technology;
- Supercapacitor technology;
- Machine learning, big data, and cloud computing in HESS applications;
- Real-time energy management and predictive optimization methodologies;
- Monitoring and predictive maintenance of HESS;
- Life cycle analysis, including re-use of HESS in second-life applications.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
