Summary
Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly reshaping transportation, but the pace and reliability of this transition will be determined by the quality of charging technologies and their seamless integration with power systems. As charging power levels increase and penetration grows, EV charging can amplify peak demand, stress distribution assets, and introduce power-quality concerns. At the same time, next-generation solutions—high-efficiency power conversion, wireless power transfer (WPT), renewable-powered charging hubs, and smart-grid coordination—create a major opportunity to improve efficiency, resilience, and flexibility while enabling grid services through bidirectional operation.
This Special Issue aims to publish high-impact research and reviews on advanced EV charging technologies with an emphasis on power conversion, wireless charging, renewable integration, and smart grids.
We invite high-quality contributions that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Device-to-system level innovations, including converter and charger architectures (AC/DC, DC/DC, fast and ultra-fast charging)
- WPT design (static/dynamic, compensation networks, misalignment tolerance control)
- Renewable-integrated charging stations (PV/wind + storage + EV)
- Coordinated smart charging and energy management
- V2G/V2H/V2B services
- Grid impact mitigation (harmonics, voltage regulation, congestion)
- Data-driven/AI-enabled forecasting, optimization and control
We also welcome contributions featuring rigorous modeling, control design, experimental validation, prototypes, and real-world case studies that advance scalable and grid-friendly EV charging infrastructure.
