Preface

Electro mobility is a general global trend, since it corresponds to converging expectations regarding the environment and society at the same time as institutions, communities and companies undergo a digital transformation. Electric vehicles will be connected vehicles, once again due to the increasingly clear convergence between information and energy networks, opening the way towards shared objectives of autonomy, reliability and security. It is already obvious that the new generation of electric vehicles cannot be devised, designed and manufactured in the same way as conventional electrified vehicles, not least because the current revolution in terms of how we perceive vehicles and their new uses requires a totally new approach to electric vehicles’ architecture, structure, modularity and operation and their interactions with the outside world, until they gradually become autonomous. At the same time, carmakers are facing rapid technological change, especially in terms of equipment, energy storage, broadband communications and artificial intelligence, sometimes within time frames that are much shorter than the duration of a project. As a result, they have to design upgradeable electric cars capable of easily integra
