Electric Mobility Systems: Fundamentals, Infrastructure, and Future Trends presents a systems-level examination of electrified transport within the broader context of global decarbonization and energy transition strategies. The book addresses the growing need for an integrated reference that connects vehicle technologies, charging infrastructure, energy storage systems, grid interaction, and regulatory frameworks. By situating electric mobility within current climate objectives and CO₂ reduction pathways, it clarifies the technical, economic, and geopolitical drivers shaping the transformation of the transportation sector. The volume explores foundational principles across electric powertrains, battery and hydrogen storage technologies, power electronics, charging architectures, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) paradigms. It provides structured coverage of electric vehicle typologies—including passenger cars, UAVs, and other emerging platforms—alongside smart charging strategies and grid-integrated energy management. Emphasis is placed on lifecycle emissions, supply-chain vulnerabilities, market evolution, standards, and system-level trade-offs, enabling readers to understand both technological capabilities and deployment constraints. Designed for researchers, engineers, infrastructure planners, policymakers, and advanced students, the book balances technical rigor with accessibility. Each chapter follows a consistent format—introduction, technical foundations, current applications, and future implications—allowing independent consultation and digital discoverability. By synthesizing comparative technology assessments, data-driven insights, and forward-looking analysis, the reference supports evidence-based decision making and strategic planning toward resilient, low-carbon transport systems.
