    摘要: A system and method for block scheduling for an electric vehicle are provided. The method includes obtaining route information including designated routes and their distances in a defined operation period for the EV, and battery information including a consumption factor and a charging rate for a battery of the EV. The method further includes adding dummy routes representative of a predefined charging time period for the battery in the defined operation period. The method further includes defining a dummy factor having a first value for each of the designated routes for the energy being consumed, and a second value for each of the dummy routes for the energy being replenished. The method further includes determining a schedule for the designated routes and the dummy routes for the EV using an optimization model having constraints for the route information, the battery information and the dummy factor.

    摘要: A charge control system includes a lithium battery configured to provide lithium battery power to a set of electrical loads, a user signaling device, and control circuitry coupled with the lithium battery and the user signaling device. The control circuitry is operative to: (A) detect availability of charge from an external charger, (B) in response to detection of the availability of charge from the external charger and prior to controlling the external charger to adjust the amount of charge stored by the lithium battery, perform a set of pre-charging assessment operations, and (C) based on the set of pre-charging assessment operations, provide a user notification via the user signaling device, the user notification indicating whether the lithium battery is properly setup for charge adjustment. When the user signaling device generates the user notification, the user is informed that the utility vehicle is properly connected to the external charger.
