About This Topic
This Special Issue, "Reliability, Fault Diagnosis and Prognostics for Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage Systems," explores the critical intersection of transport electrification and sustainable energy management. As the global transition toward green mobility accelerates, the long-term reliability and safety of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) have become paramount. These systems are subject to complex degradation mechanisms and operational stresses that necessitate advanced monitoring and maintenance strategies. The scope of this issue encompasses cutting-edge research in condition monitoring, fault detection, and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction. By integrating state-of-the-art methodologies—ranging from physics-based modeling to data-driven AI and machine learning—the collected works aim to minimize downtime, prevent catastrophic failures, and optimize the lifecycle of battery packs and power electronics. By bridging the gap between theoretical diagnostics and industrial application, this Special Issue provides a vital platform for researchers to share breakthroughs that enhance the resilience of the EV and ESS ecosystems. Ultimately, these contributions support the broader mission of ensuring efficient, safe, and dependable energy solutions for the future of engineering and environmental science.

Abstract
Thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is an escalating fire-safety problem in electric vehicles and battery energy-storage systems (BESS), and conventional water-based suppression has repeatedly been shown to delay propagation without preventing pack destruction or re-ignition. Solid, electrically non-conductive cooling agents are [...]
