Abstract: A power supply device supplies power from a power transmission coil to a power reception coil of a vehicle in a non-contact manner. The power supply device has a communication unit that receives a startup signal for activating the power supply device. A notification unit notifies a state of the power supply device. A controller controls the notification unit based on a detection result of a detection unit. The detection unit detects a non-contact power supply possible state, in which power can be supplied from the power transmission coil in a non-contact manner. The controller sets a notification state of the notification unit to a first notification state, when the non-contact power supply possible state is detected, and sets the notification state of the notification unit to a state that is different from the first notification state, when the non-contact power supply possible state is not detected.

Abstract: 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.
