摘要： A method for managing state of charge of a battery of an electric work vehicle to be ready to return to work at a return to work time. Data comprising an expected date and time of return to work is obtained from the output of a user interface and used to calculate an expected duration of immobilization of the electric work vehicle. A charge rate is determined based on the expected duration of immobilization of the work vehicle and a targeted charge increase. A charging start time is calculated such that at the return to work time an actual state of charge of the battery is a target operational state of charge value. The temperature of the battery is adjusted such that the battery is at a target temperature at the charging start time. The charge cycle is started at the charging start time.

摘要： A vehicle includes an engine block heater, a traction battery, and a controller. The controller, responsive to a temperature being less than a threshold, charges the traction battery with grid energy until a state of charge of the traction battery achieves a charge target. The controller is further programmed to, responsive to the state of charge achieving the target, discharge the traction battery to power the engine block heater until the state of charge falls below a discharge target or the temperature achieves a temperature target. The controller is also programmed to, responsive to the charge falling below the discharge target, charge the traction battery with grid energy until the state of charge achieves the charge target. Additionally, the controller is programmed to, responsive to a temperature achieving a temperature target, inhibit charging and discharging the traction battery.

摘要： A vehicle is equipped with a drive system and an auxiliary system including one or more auxiliary devices. A solar charging system includes a solar panel and a control unit. The control unit is configured to stop supplying power to the auxiliary system and charging a drive battery in a case in which a charged power to the drive battery is less than a first threshold value and a supplied power to the auxiliary system is less than an average value of the supplied power during a previous charging of the drive battery.

摘要： The disclosed system includes two battery packs, at least one motor, a generator subsystem, controllers, and a switch wherein the battery packs are independent of one another but can either be undergoing charging or propelling an EV separately. A controller monitors comparative charge levels of the two battery packs and at a predetermined charge-difference value triggers the switch to reverse the roles of the battery packs.

摘要： A method for controlling a level of charge of a traction battery of an electric vehicle connected to an electricity distribution grid by way of a charger during a downtime phase of the vehicle. The method includes a first step of forcibly discharging the battery, performed in a discharging circuit associated with the battery, with a discharge current that is calibrated in terms of strength with respect to the nominal capacity of the battery, so as to slowly and completely discharge the battery to its minimum voltage, and a step of normally charging the battery with a setpoint charging current prescribed by the charger or the battery, so as to charge the battery to a useful level of charge of the battery.
