The transition to electric mobility is a cornerstone of global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy efficiency. This editorial explores the critical role of integrating electric mobility systems with power grids to ensure sustainable transport solutions. Drawing from research presented in this special collection, we analyze key challenges in optimizing charging infrastructure, managing vehicle-to-grid (V2G) interactions, ensuring equity in energy access, and strengthening governance frameworks. The findings emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary solutions that align technological innovation with policy measures to build a resilient and sustainable transport-energy nexus.
