Governments around the world have taken significant initiative towards transportation electrification (TE) towards deep decarbonization. TE introduces new charging and communication infrastructure requirements. Meanwhile, the production of high-volume data from energy and transportation systems provides possibilities on the system-level reshaping of energy and traffic demand, and opportunities to unlock electric vehicle (EV) flexibility for renewable energy integration and more cost-effectively balance demand and supply. Those emerging characteristics could ultimately result in novel operation, planning and business models for the coupled energy, transportation, and information networks. While tremendous progress has been made in advancing the operating and planning paradigms of these networks separately while making simplifications of the others and/or neglecting their interdependencies, less attention has been paid to holistic integration of these three networks and comprehensive exploration their complex interactions; through joint optimization of these networks, facilitating more cost-efficient global energy transition. This is highly multidisciplinary area that has received unprecedented research attention around the globe and requires an ever-increasing integration of electrical engineering, transportation, control and information and economics disciplines. A broad spectrum of contributors (e. g., academics, researchers, engineers, consultants, market regulators and system operators, key policymakers) are sourced to define and develop the interdisciplinary technical approaches collectively, in order to facilitate integration of the four networks to promote economic efficiency, facilitate renewable energy generation and carbon reduction, efficiently balance of supply and demand and improve the capability, adaptability, scalability, resiliency, safety, security, and usability that the integrated network can provide.
