    摘要: A vehicle charging system includes a main body fixed to a floor part of a vehicle stop space, a slide body slidable in a first direction relative to the main body, a connector unit including arms and a connector to be connected to the vehicle to charge, a first cover that covers the arms from a side of the main body while pivoting in conjunction with pivoting of the arms, a second cover supported by the slide body and disposed on a side opposite to the side of the main body, and third covers supported by the slide body and disposed on both sides of the connector unit in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. When the arms are erected, the second cover and the third covers extend upward in conjunction with the pivoting of the arms, thereby forming a frame that surrounds the arms.

    摘要: Presently disclosed is an EV charging system & method for charging EVs while the EVs are in motion. The charging system has a longitudinally extending charging strip or rail having at least one electrically charged length and an external power source in electrical connection with the at least one electrically charged length. At least one electrical connector is configured to electrically connect an EV to the at least one electrically charged length and charge the EV, while the EV and the electrical connector are moving along a length of the longitudinally extending charging strip or rail.

    摘要: A power supply system includes charging stands capable of supplying electric power to an electrified vehicle on the ground and each including a power supply unit, a movable unit including the power supply unit and moving between a first position at which the power supply unit is housed underground and a second position at which the power supply unit is exposed from the ground, an actuator moving the movable unit, and a control unit controlling the actuator. The control unit controls the actuator to lower the movable unit to the first position when supply of electric power to a next electrified vehicle is not scheduled within a predetermined period after the supply of electric power and controls the actuator to maintain the movable unit at the second position when supply of electric power to a next electrified vehicle is scheduled within the predetermined period after the supply of electric power.

    摘要: Disclosed are a battery swapping station and a control method therefor. The battery swapping station comprises: a first battery swapping platform being arranged between a first charging compartment and a second charging compartment; a first shuttle travels between the first battery charging compartment and the first battery swapping platform, a second shuttle travels between the second battery charging compartment and the first battery swapping platform; a control unit being electrically connected to the first shuttle and to the second shuttle, used for the following operation: when operating a same vehicle on the first battery swapping platform, if the first shuttle is executing either operation of battery unmounting or battery mounting, the second shuttle executes the other operation. Through the battery swapping station and the control method therefor, the waiting time for vehicles when swapping batteries can be reduced, thus increasing the battery swapping efficiency of the battery swapping station.
