    摘要: A powered vehicle includes a chassis having a front end and a rear end, and at least one front wheel and at least one rear wheel for supporting the chassis. The at least one front wheel defines a front axle and the at least one rear wheel defines a rear axle. A first portion of the vehicle defines an interior in which at least one seat is located. A second portion of the vehicle is located outside of the interior. The first and second portions are at least partially separated by a wall. A power system for propelling the vehicle is located in the second portion, where the power system includes a HV battery for producing electrical power to propel the vehicle. The battery is coupled to the chassis and located in the second portion.

    摘要: This application is directed to an apparatus for providing electrical charge to a vehicle. The apparatus comprises a driven mass, a generator, a charger, a hardware controller, and a communication circuit. The driven mass rotates in response to a kinetic energy of the vehicle and is coupled to a shaft such that rotation of the driven mass causes the shaft to rotate. The driven mass exists in one of (1) an extended position and (2) a retracted position. The generator generates an electrical output based on a mechanical input coupled to the shaft such that rotation of the shaft causes the mechanical input to rotate. The charger is electrically coupled to the generator and: receives the electrical output, generates a charge output based on the electrical output, and conveys the charge output to the vehicle. The controller controls whether the driven mass is in the extended position or the retracted position in response to a signal received from the communication circuit.
