EVS has already had a long history since its birth in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, in 1969.The theme of EVS36 is "Driving the Transition to E-Mobility". The papers cover research, market, and government activities across all fields related to hybrid, battery, and fuel cell technologies, associated infrastructure, and services.The authors of the best papers presented at EVS36 were invited to further extend their EVS36 paper, including their most recent research findings. After a second thorough round of peer review, these papers were published in this Special Issue of the World Electric Vehicle Journal (WEVJ), the official journal of the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA).
