The International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exposition (EVS) series, organized by the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA), is recognized as the premier event for academic, government and industry professionals involved in electric drive technologies.

Today, the EVS series is recognized as the global electric transportation industry's premier and largest forum, showcasing all forms of technologies in the market place and on the drawing boards--from low speed battery electric vehicles to fuel cell electric buses. The event attracts academic, government and industry leaders from around the world who are interested in exploring and understanding the technical, policy and market challenges to a paradigm shift toward use of electric transportation technologies.

Call for Papers

EVS-24 will host high-quality research papers from academia and industry in both lecture and dialogue sessions. While the first are more fitted for political or more general topics, the other presents the advantage of allowing direct discussion between the attendees and the authors. This last option is particularly suitable for more technical and complex papers.

Topics

While the main focus in clearly road transport EVS now open its scope to rail, marine and air transportation. There is indeed, for most of the dedicated topics, a clear parallelism between researches make for all types of electrically propelled vehicles whatever their application field.
