Dear Colleagues,

With the global concern of climatic change, many countries have set plans and strategies to ensure certain levels of CO₂ emissions in the future. Since internal combustion engine transportation can be considered as a main source of pollution, electric vehicles (EVs) have evolved in the last few decades as a possible replacement. Electrical drive systems are the heart of EV powertrains. In this Special Issue, we invite you to contribute your research work in the field of application of electrical drives in EVs. Major topics include but are not limited to:

• Multi-phase machines designed and controlled for EV and more electric transportation;
• Efficient control techniques of electric machines;
• Onboard and integrated onboard charger design and implementation;
• Special machine topologies;
• Advance power converter topologies and control methods for EV 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. 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.
