Special Section on Advanced Battery Management for Electric Vehicles

The innovation of battery technology is rapidly and fundamentally changing our transportation system, resulting in an exponential increase in the ownership of battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs). There is no doubt that EVs will dominate the global vehicle market in a foreseeable future. This can be evidenced by political targets set up by different countries. For example, China and Europe aim to have 50 and 30 million EVs on road by 2030, respectively. With the massive market penetration of EVs, it is of great importance to ensure vehicle safety and optimize battery performance, e.g., in fast charging and longevity. Advanced battery management algorithms are demanded to lay a solid foundation for achieving these goals, in which cross-disciplinary knowledge needs to be appropriately and meticulously integrated, including electrical engineering, control theory, electrochemistry, AI, and machine learning.

This Feature Topic intends to provide readers with a comprehensive view of the latest research hotspots, technology innovation, and future development directions in the field of battery management. The ultimate goal is to accelerate the paradigm shift towards safe, efficient, and intelligent EVs. Welcome topics include but are not strictly limited to the following:
