摘要： Disclosed herein are mobile battery powered kiosks generally shaped as a standing workstation having an interactive touch screen at a comfortable viewing height and a wheeled base portion for convenient rolling transportation. These mobile kiosks may have collapsible handles and may be nested together for more compact storage and more efficient battery charging, such as by daisy chaining These mobile kiosks may have removable or swappable rechargeable batteries, or may be recharged simply by plugging into a wall outlet. The mobile kiosks have an interactive touch screen, which may itself be a computer, or may be operably coupled to a computer, such as via Wi-Fi. These mobile kiosks may be used at a point-of sale and are wheeled and lightweight to be easily maneuvered and quickly deployed when needed, such as at crowded venues, or on a temporary as-needed basis, and can then be put away, when no longer needed.

摘要： A vehicle battery charger and a vehicle battery charging system are described and illustrated, and can include a controller enabling a user to enter a time of day at which the vehicle battery charger or system begins and/or ends charging of the vehicle battery. The vehicle battery charger can be separate from the vehicle, can be at least partially integrated into the vehicle, can include a transmitter and/or a receiver capable of communication with a controller that is remote from the vehicle and vehicle charger, and can be controlled by a user or another party (e.g., a power utility) to control battery charging based upon a time of day, cost of power, or other factors.

摘要： The present patent application describes a charger for electric vehicles that features a fault ride through capability, allowing it to use power from the vehicle's battery as a backup power source during low voltage faults of the grid. The charger includes a backup circuit that comprises a first coupling circuit connected to the power path of the electric vehicle battery through the charger, a second coupling circuit connected to the power path of the charger's power supply, and optionally a connection or conditioning circuit to match the voltages of the coupling circuits. The backup circuit enables the control and communication units of the charger to keep operating during low voltage faults of the grid, which can vary in duration from milliseconds to several seconds. The coupling circuits may be placed at various points in the charger's circuitry, such as the input, output, or internal points of the converter or power supply.

摘要： A method of charging one or more electric vehicles (EVs) includes receiving a voltage over a dedicated circuit from an electric power supply. A charging current is generated using the voltage and directed to a first output connection if a first EV is connected to a head that is connected to the first output connection. The charging current to the first one of the output connections is stopped, then directed to a second output connection if a second EV is connected to a head coupled to the second output connection.

摘要： An electrified vehicle includes an energy storage device, a temperature control device, and an electronic control unit. The energy storage device is configured to supply power to a driving source. The temperature adjustment device is configured to perform temperature adjustment of the energy storage device. The electronic control unit is configured to operate the temperature adjustment device when the temperature of the energy storage device falls within a temperature range in which the temperature adjustment is performed. The electronic control unit is configured to, when in a situation where charging is predicted to be performed after traveling of the electrified vehicle, set either an upper or lower limit of the temperature range using the state of charge of the energy storage device.

摘要： A control apparatus is for a plurality of batteries included in a vehicle and connected in parallel and includes: an acquisition section acquiring each state of charge of the plurality of batteries; and a control section determining, among the plurality of batteries, one or more batteries to be discharged, which supply power to an external load for driving the vehicle, and one or more batteries to be charged, which are charged by an external power supply provided outside the vehicle. The control section determines the one or more batteries to be discharged from the plurality of batteries except for a low-remaining-amount battery which is, among the plurality of batteries, a battery in which the state of charge is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, and determines the one or more batteries to be charged from the plurality of batteries including the low-remaining-amount battery.
