摘要:
The present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for locking and/or unlocking a vehicle (101) based on a location of a mobile device (103, 105) associated with the vehicle (101). In one embodiment a processor (1013) in a vehicle (101) analyzes a position of a mobile device (103, 105) relative to the vehicle (101) and allows the vehicle (101) to be unlocked when the mobile device (103, 105) is determined to be approaching the vehicle (101).
摘要:
Vehicle operation ( e.g ., speed, acceleration) may be limited based on various conditions such as a current charge condition of an electrical energy storage devices ( e.g ., batteries, super- or ultracapacitors), history of such, conditions related to the vehicle ( e.g ., mileage, weight, size, drag coefficient), a driver or operator of the vehicle ( e.g ., history with respect to speed, acceleration, mileage) and/or environmental conditions ( e.g ., ambient temperature, terrain). A controller may control operation of one or more power converters to limit current and/or voltage supplied to a traction electric motor, accordingly.

摘要:
Electric vehicles such as scooters can have a first operating mode in which energy is supplied by a single electrical energy storage device and a second operating mode in which energy is supplied by multiple electrical energy storage devices. A circuit element can be included in the circuit connecting the electrical energy storage devices to a prime mover such as a traction motor. The circuit element has a first, electrically conductive, state that couples only the single electrical energy storage device to a traction motor and a second, electrically non-conductive, state that couples the multiple electrical energy storage devices to the prime mover. The transition of the circuit element from the first state to the second state can occur by irreversibly fracturing the circuit element upon installation of multiple electrical energy storage devices or by a controller transitioning the circuit element from the first state to the second state.
摘要:
Electric vehicles such as scooters are reliant upon one or more electrical energy storage devices to not only provide motive power but also power some or all vehicular systems. An electrical energy storage device can be equipped with a number of thermal sensors that provide data indicative of overall and/or localized electrical energy storage device temperature(s) to a controller. In order to maintain the electrical energy storage device in a desired thermal operating range or profile, the controller can selectively alter or control the power distributed or allocated to one or more vehicular systems. Such alteration or control of power allocation may be performed by the controller based upon an assessed degree of vehicular system criticality.
