Dear Colleagues, I am very pleased to inform you that I am serving as a guest editor for Energies Special Issue: Future Smart Energy for Electric Vehicle Charging. You are all welcome to contribute with a research or review article!

Finding solutions that optimize the management of energy

demand from electric vehicles and alternative methods of

power generation are two strategies that contribute to the

overall success of the energy transition. With this goal in

mind, this Special Issue aims to analyze approaches for the

smart charging of electric vehicles that can be optimized

for better results. The focus is on using renewable energy,

reducing peak electricity demand, and maintaining the

quality of energy while meeting the needs of electric

vehicle drivers. We are also interested in work that

considers fuel cell electric cars.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not

limited to:

Smart management of private and public charging

demand;

Integration with renewable sources and storage

management: potential, critical issues, enabling

technologies, and grid integration;

Analysis of the bidirectional functionalities of

vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-home;

Smart charging for power regulation, grid stability,

power quality, and reliability;

Local energy market and neighborhood

management for district infrastructure.
