In recent years, there has been an upsurge in electric vehicles (EVs) as the cost of the electricity required to charge an EV is much less than the cost of using petrol for a similar-sized vehicle driving the same distance. In addition, EVs are easy to power from local and renewable energy sources, which reduces the global crisis of oil dependence. Moreover, choosing to drive an EV helps to reduce harmful air pollution from exhaust emissions. However, despite the many benefits of EVs, full-pledged research is still required into EV charging techniques and infrastructures.

At present, the main area of research in both industry and academia is the upgrading of EV charging and charging station technologies. Therefore, theoretical studies, practical experiences, and deep research into EV charging technologies are required for the establishment of charging stations and the sustainable development of the global market.

This Special Issue invites authors to contribute research articles focusing on EV technologies and their charging techniques. We hope to gather research in relevant fields from around the world on the analysis, technology, methods, and implementation of EVs and to positively contribute to the sustainable development of the transportation sector. We aim to report the latest obstacles, challenges, mathematical problems, and opportunities facing the transportation sector in establishing sustainable growth. We welcome both original research and review articles.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• DC fast charging
• Charging station control optimization
• Cyber security of public charging stations
• Electric vehicle charging management systems
• Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-grid state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) technology
• Alternative energy storage options
