摘要: Methods and systems for operating powersport vehicles during an operator-vehicle separation condition are provided. One method includes detecting the operator-vehicle separation condition using a first tetherless criterion and a second tetherless criterion. In response to detecting the operator-vehicle separation condition using both the first tetherless criterion and the second tetherless criterion, the method includes preventing propulsion of the powersport vehicle.

摘要: There are described herein methods and systems for operating an electric motor of a watercraft. In one method, the electric motor of the watercraft is controlled based on commands received from an accelerator of the watercraft, a sensor signal is received from at least one sensor of the watercraft while the electric motor is in operation, the sensor signal indicative of an undesirable condition of a water intake of the watercraft, and a change is effected to the controlling of the electric motor in response to receiving the sensor signal.

摘要: An electric vehicle including an electric motor and a battery system to provide electrical power to the electric motor. A first input device, when actuated, provides a first input representing a command to propel the electric vehicle. A second input device, when actuated, provides a second input for initiating a boost operating mode. A controller is operative to control a permitted rate of change of a selected operating parameter of the electric motor. The controller, in a normal operating mode, operates the electric motor according to a first rate of change for the selected operating parameter in response to the first input, and in a boost operating mode, operates the electric motor according to a second rate of change, greater than the first, for the selected operating parameter for a limited period of time in response to the first input.

摘要: Drive units for electric vehicles are provided. One example provides a power inverter of an electric drive unit. The power inverter comprises a housing with a compartment at least partially formed by a first wall and an opposing second wall. The power inverter also comprises a plurality of electrical switches to convert direct current (DC) power into alternating current (AC) power, the plurality of electrical switches coupled to the first wall within the compartment. The power inverter further comprises a power controller to control the plurality of electrical switches, the power controller coupled to the plurality of electrical switches. The power inverter also comprises a motor controller to control the power controller, the motor controller disposed between the power controller and the second wall.

摘要: A battery cooling panel and battery module are disclosed. In one example, the battery cooling panel includes a first outer panel defined as a first cooling fin with a first major surface configured to contact a battery cell. A second outer panel is secured to the first outer panel at an outer edge. A panel insert is positioned between the first outer panel and the second outer panel, the panel insert having a major surface with coolant flow channels. The battery module includes one or more battery cells in contact with the battery cooling panel, and is suitable for use as part of an electric vehicle system.

摘要: In one aspect, responsive to determining that an electric vehicle is connected to an external power source, an operator interface of the electric vehicle is enabled to command a headlight of the electric vehicle into an off condition. Responsive to determining that the electric vehicle is disconnected from the external power source and that the electric motor of the electric vehicle is powered, the headlight of the electric vehicle is maintained in an on condition, and the operator interface from commanding the headlight into the off condition is disabled. In another aspect, an electric vehicle headlight may be rendered non-deactivatable when an accelerator of the electric vehicle is enabled, and the headlight may be rendered deactivatable when an accelerator of the electric vehicle is disabled.

摘要: Systems and methods for operating watercraft are provided. One method of operating a watercraft includes detecting a presence of an obstacle in proximity to the watercraft. When a propulsion command is received when the presence of the obstacle is detected, an actual output from a powertrain of the watercraft is restricted to a restricted output associated with the presence of the obstacle.
