Abstract: An electric drivetrain for installation in a vehicle chassis. A generator coupled to an engine generates electric power for charging an array of batteries. The vehicle, including components and subsystems, may be powered electrically from the batteries, allowing the engine and generator to be easily replaced or customized for an industry, geographic region, fuel type, or a set of emission requirements. A thermal management system may determine a battery temperature for the set of batteries and cause one or more of a coolant system, a refrigerant system, an exhaust gas system or an ambient air heat exchanger to add heat to the set of batteries or transfer heat away from the set of batteries.

Abstract: A battery pallet racking system stores a plurality of battery pallets for use by a plurality of vehicles and manages charging the plurality of battery pallets based on the needs of the plurality of vehicles. The system communicates with a vehicle to determine a state of charge needed by the vehicle, selects a battery pallet to provide the state of charge, and charges the selected battery pallet to the state of charge. Battery pallets may be charged serially, collectively in parallel or individually to meet states of charge for the plurality of vehicles.

Abstract: A drive train for installation in a vehicle chassis includes a power source, two motor/generators (M/Gs), an array of batteries, and a control system for configuring the drive train to operate using only the power source, only the batteries or a combination of the power source and batteries. The control system may open or close clutches to configure the drive train with each M/G working as a motor or a generator. A M/G working as a motor may use power from the batteries to supply rotational power to drive the vehicle or operate accessories on the vehicle. A M/G working as a generator coupled to a power source generates electric power for charging the array of batteries. The vehicle, including components and subsystems, may be powered electrically from the batteries or powered from the engine.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and electrical power generation (HVAC-P) system are disclosed. The HVAC-P includes at least one generator, an optional battery system, and a system controller. The HVAC-P system is operable to generate and supply heating, cooling, and electrical power to a building (residential and/or commercial), camping trailer, recreational vehicle, or other habitable structure in which the HVAC-P system is installed. In the heating mode, the generator burns one or more fuels to generate and supply a heated airflow to the building, camping trailer, recreational vehicle, or other habitable structure and electrical power to the battery system, the building, the electrical grid, another generator, or a combination thereof. In the cooling mode, the generator operates on electrical power provided by the battery system, the electrical grid, another generator, or a combination thereof to generate and supply a cooled airflow to the building, camping trailer, recreational vehicle, or other habitable structure.
