Abstract: A vehicle roof assembly includes a roof that defines an aperture. A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning assembly is selectively disposed within the aperture. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning assembly includes a housing defining an interior. The housing defines an intake and a vent opening. The intake is defined on a first side of the housing. A fan is disposed within the interior on a second side of the housing. The second side opposes the first side. A duct is disposed within the interior. The duct extends between the first side and the second side of the housing. The duct fluidly couples the intake with the vent opening.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a body and a charging pad. The body defines first and second wheel wells on opposing lateral sides of the body. The body defines a cavity along a bottom surface of the body between the wheel wells and a rear end of the vehicle. The charging pad is disposed within the cavity such that the charging pad spans a distance between the first and second wheel wells. The charging pad has a secondary coil disposed therein. The secondary coil is configured to receive electrical power from a primary coil of a charging station via induction to recharge a vehicle battery.
