By increasing the electrified vehicles trend, it is crucial to have a survey of what is done before and what is the open challenge for improving this industry. Powertrain electrification has heightened the need for an energy management strategy, which has been a continuing concern in the development of electrified vehicles. An energy management control unit manages power flow between different energy sources in an electrified powertrain that directly affects vehicle performance. There are inadequate numbers of studies on the most recent energy management strategies, which are compatible with real-world scenarios. Intelligent energy management strategies requirements are discussed in detail, and it is categorized to principle-based, data-driven, and composite-based methods. Besides, enabling technologies for implementing an energy management system with a comparison of different controller chips are described to give readers an experimental view. Future trends and existing challenges are presented, which generate fresh insight into energy management strategies.

The electric revolution is underway in the transportation sector, and the aviation industry is poised to embrace fundamental disruption. Moving to electric aircraft brings undeniable benefits in terms of environmental impact, cost savings, maintenance, noise pollution, and safety. Nevertheless, several technical challenges are yet to be overcome to build electric airplanes that meet public needs while gaining acceptance and trust. From urban air mobility to long-haul flight applications, hundreds of projects are under research to push toward more electrification. At the heart of each aircraft architecture, power electronics plays a crucial role in the new era of transportation. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of state-of-the-art power electronics in electric aircraft. A review of the current status of aircraft electrification will be provided, and technology surveys of power electronic converters will be detailed. Challenges for forthcoming power electronics in response to the future trends of the electrical network will be explained. Finally, emerging technologies regarding wide bandgap devices, advanced topologies and control, thermal management, passive components, and system integration will be discussed.
