摘要:
A method comprising receiving, on a server, from a computing device of a user, a request to receive a battery charge on a battery-powered device of the user, the request including one or more criteria; identifying, by the server, one or more potential charge donors as target charge donors by comparing the criteria of the request with donor preferences previously provided by potential charge donors; and sending, from the server, information related to a target charge donor to the computing device of the user.

A portable holder (10) for an electric vehicle charger (12) with an inline electronics module (14). The holder (10) includes or defines a cavity (16), a first extension (26), a second extension (30), and a slot (34). The cavity (16) is configured to receive the inline electronics module (14) through an opening (18) in the cavity (16). The first extension (26) is arranged about a first side of the cavity (16). The second extension (30) is arranged about a second side of the cavity (16) opposite the first side. The first extension (26) and the second extension (30) cooperate to hold in place a vehicle cord (22) connected to the inline electronics module (14) when the vehicle cord (22) is wrapped around the cavity (16). The slot (34) is defined by the second extension (30) and the cavity (16). The slot (34) is configured to receive a power cord (24) connected to the inline electronics module (14) when the inline electronics module (14) is inserted into the cavity (16).

The invention relates to a method for starting a vehicle (1) comprising a fuel cell system (2) for providing electrical drive power in said vehicle (1), in which method a start procedure can be initiated using a remote control unit (9) independently of the presence of a user (8) in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle (1). The invention is characterised in that the start procedure is only initiated by means of the remote control unit (9) if a start signal from said unit (9) exists and if simultaneously a temperature detected in the vehicle (1), the fuel cell system (2) and/or the environment of the vehicle (1) lies below a predetermined temperature limit value.

A method for automatically charging the battery pack of an electric vehicle in accordance with a set of location sensitive charging instructions is provided. Exemplary location sensitive charging instructions include preset charging schedules and preset charge level limits. Different charging schedules and different charge level limits may be preset for different charging stations and locations, thus allowing the user to preset the charging instructions for each of multiple locations where the user routinely charges their car. Default charging instructions are used at those charging stations and locations where a set of location sensitive charging instructions has not been preset.

L'invention a pour objet un véhicule électrique (100), comprenant un moteur électrique (102) et des moyens de stockage d'énergie embarqués (104, 106) reliés électriquement au moteur afin de l'alimenter en énergie électrique, dans lequel les moyens de stockage d'énergie comprennent d'une part, un premier module de stockage d'énergie (104) comprenant au moins un supercondensateur, d'autre part un deuxième module de stockage d'énergie (106) comprenant au moins une batterie, les premier et deuxième modules de stockage d'énergie (104,106) étant agencés sur des branches électriques parallèles, le véhicule comprenant des moyens d'interconnexion (108) disposés entre les moyens de stockage d'énergie (104, 106) et le moteur (102) aptes à relier électriquement les deux branche électriques au moteur (102) et configurés pour qu'une seule des deux branches électriques à la fois soit reliée au moteur (102). Elle concerne également une installation comportant le véhicule (100) et au moins une station (200) pour la recharge du véhicule.
摘要:
A method of servicing a hybrid system is disclosed wherein the hybrid system includes a detected fault. As a result of the detected fault the hybrid system has been disabled. The hybrid system includes a controller and a service detection interlock (SDI). The method steps include first powering up the controller and then assessing a special fault flag status. If a special fault flag is set, the next step is to check to see if the SDI is removed. If the SDI is removed then the special fault flag is cleared while the hybrid system remains disabled. The controller is then powered down with the key-off input and with the next key-on input, the hybrid system can be enabled.

There is disclosed method of queue prioritization and an electric vehicle charging station, the method includes providing remote access to a queue for the electric vehicle charging station, the queue defining the order and duration of electric vehicles to be charged at the electric vehicle charging station, receiving a plurality of requests to utilize the electric vehicle charging station and entering those requests into the queue. The method further includes prioritizing the queue based upon parameters determined by an electric vehicle charging station operator, notifying a vehicle operator of their position at the top of the queue and enabling the electric vehicle charging station to begin charging a vehicle operated by the vehicle operator upon confirmation that the vehicle is present at the electric vehicle charging station.
摘要:
A battery management apparatus and method for use in an electrical vehicle has a plurality of individual batteries 34 provided within a battery pack 10. The battery pack is coupled to power vehicle traction 12 and a plurality of individually connectable vehicle appliances 18-26. A monitor keeps track of charge state by means of a battery monitor 44 on each battery relaying instant current to a processor 27. In a first embodiment, a charge allocation profile for the whole battery pack 10 is used where different appliances 18-26 have different amounts of charge capacity allocated to them and are disconnected when discharge exceeds their allocation and are reconnected during charging when their charge is again found. In a second embodiment, individual batteries 34 and appliances 18-26 are connected within a network configuration allowing anything to be connected to anything else. Battery 10 segments can be created, each having one or more allocated individual batteries and each segment connected to selectable services 12 18-26 within the electric vehicle. Segmentation patterns can be changed. A segment charge allocation profile can be used within each segment in much the same way that the charge allocation profile can be used and changed for the first embodiment. Progressive charging and discharging of the battery is the end result.
