First Call for Papers

The first IEEE International Electric Vehicle Conference provides a true cross-organizational platform to exchange information among thought leaders of the fast-growing electric mobility ecosystem and to discuss new trends in technology, engineering, standards and deployment aspects on a global scale. IEVC is a venue for electrical vehicle engineers, component and infrastructure system developers, manufacturers, electricity suppliers, corporate executives, technical analysts, researchers, educators, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, legislators, regulators and standardization experts to share a joint interest in the transformation of the transportation industry via electrification.

Of specific interest for this conference are papers related but not limited to the following areas:
 EV system architecture concepts for passenger, service and utility vehicles (BEV, PHEV, HEV, FCEV)
 Innovations in EV component design
 EV motor drives and controllers
 EV high voltage wiring
 Heating and cooling systems for EV’s
 Innovations in EV energy storage solutions (e.g. battery chemistry, ultra capacitor, fuel cell, battery management system)
 EV systems modeling, simulation and testing
 AC and DC conductive charging, wireless charging, smart charging, fast charging
 Power grid and renewable energy resource interfacing for EV mass deployment
 Design for manufacturing for EV mass production
 EV fleet and infrastructure asset management
 Design for EV maintainability
 Information Technology and Communication services for the EV ecosystem
 Global standards development for EVs and their impact on EV deployment, R&D and manufacturing
 Trends in EV deployment, supply chain and manufacturing
 EV-related educational programs for engineers, legislators and the public
