    摘要: Systems and methods for energy management of vehicles are provided. A controller may control conduction of generated electric current from one or more traction motors of a vehicle to both a first energy assembly and a second energy assembly. The controller may control conduction of the generated current based at least in part on a measured or estimated value for a rate and/or an amount at which the electric current is generated by the traction motors. The controller may direct a first portion of the generated current to the second energy assembly and a second portion of the generated current to the first energy assembly based on the measured or estimated value for the rate and/or the amount at which the generated current is generated by the traction motors.
