Climate change and extreme weather, a by-product of greenhouse gas emissions, has been a critical issue facing the world. Electric vehicles (EVs) are a key to future clean transportation, and they will contribute to promoting sustainable energy development and addressing air quality and climate change. They are especially beneficial in Canada, as the majority of our electricity is generated from renewable and low-emission sources. Despite the various incentives from governments worldwide, the rollout of EVs has been slow. Limited transportation range and lack of convenient charging services are among the major obstacles. Furthermore, if the charging of a large number of EVs is unmanaged, the aggregated charging demand may create a peak load to potentially endanger the power system. The good news is that EVs are now hitting the market in the same period that vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication technologies are emerging, and utilities around the globe are racing to make their grids more intelligent by adopting information and communication technologies. In addition to solving the above range and charging problems, the nexus of the Internet, EVs, charging stations, and smart power grids constitutes a perfect storm of opportunities for future green and intelligent transportation. In this new paradigm, reliable, efficient, and secure information exchanges between EVs, meters, charging stations and grid, and real-time data management and analysis are key issues. To achieve a competitive edge for Canadian players, this project will define interdisciplinary research efforts to develop advanced information, communication and control techniques for networked EVs, focusing on scalable and efficient EV communication network design, smart EV charging providing demand response services, and security and privacy in the cyber physical systems. They are key enabling tools for networked EVs, which may not only revolutionize how things move, but also how energy flows, leading to future green and intelligent transportation of both things and energy.

气候变化和极端天气是温室气体排放的副产品，一直是世界面临的关键问题。电动汽车是未来清洁交通的关键，它们将为促进可持续能源发展、应对空气质量和气候变化做出贡献。它们在加拿大尤其有益，因为我们的大部分电力来自可再生和低排放来源。尽管世界各国政府提供了各种激励措施，但电动汽车的推出一直很缓慢。有限的运输范围和缺乏便捷的充电服务是主要障碍之一。此外，如果大量电动汽车的充电不受管理，累积的充电需求可能会产生峰值负荷，从而潜在地危及电力系统。好消息是，电动汽车现在上市的同时，车辆对车辆(V2V)和车辆对基础设施(V2I)通信技术正在兴起，全球各地的公用事业公司都在竞相采用信息和通信技术，使其电网更加智能。除了解决上述里程和充电问题外，互联网、电动汽车、充电站和智能电网的结合构成了未来绿色和智能交通的完美机遇风暴。在这种新的模式下，电动汽车、电表、充电站和电网之间可靠、高效、安全的信息交换以及实时数据管理和分析是关键问题。为了实现加拿大参与者的竞争优势，该项目将定义跨学科研究努力，为联网电动汽车开发先进的信息、通信和控制技术，重点是可扩展和高效的电动汽车通信网络设计，提供需求响应服务的智能电动汽车充电，以及网络物理系统中的安全和隐私。它们是联网电动汽车的关键使能工具，这不仅可能革命性地改变事物的移动方式，还可能改变能量流动的方式，导致未来物联网和能源的绿色和智能运输。
