A device for controlling a charging cable for charging a vehicle has a carrier structure arranged at a charging zone. A charging cable that is fastened to the carrier structure and connected to an electricity source carries a charging plug for plugging into the vehicle to be charged. A cable transport device has a cable transport element which is coupled to the charging cable in such a way that the charging cable is movable relative to the carrier structure. The cable transport device further has an operating element which is coupled to the cable transport element in such a way that control commands for controlling the cable transport element can be input by a user in order to position the charging plug in the charging zone.

The electric vehicle of the present disclosure includes an accelerator pedal, a paddle type shifter, and a motor controller. The paddle type shifter is pre-registered with upshift operation, downshift operation, and mode switching operation. The motor controller switches a control mode of the electric motor between a manual mode and an automatic mode in response to the mode switching operation on the paddle type shifter. When the control mode is the automatic mode, the motor controller changes an output of the electric motor in accordance with the operation of the accelerator pedal. On the other hand, when the control mode is the manual mode, the motor controller changes an output characteristic of the electric motor with respect to the operation of the accelerator pedal in accordance with the upshift operation and the downshift operation of the paddle type shifter.

An electric working machine includes an electric motor to use electric power received from a battery via an inverter to drive a hydraulic pump to deliver hydraulic fluid to actuate a hydraulic device. A controller to control driving of the inverter and the electric motor is configured or programmed to gradually increase a rotation speed of the electric motor such that the rotation speed of the electric motor reaches a target rotation speed in a longer time when the electric motor is started in a state in which a temperature of hydraulic fluid detected by a fluid temperature detector is lower than or equal to a predetermined temperature than when the electric motor is started in a state in which the temperature of hydraulic fluid is higher than the predetermined temperature.

The electric vehicle according to the present disclosure calculates motor torque using an MT vehicle model simulating an MT vehicle having a manual transmission and an internal combustion engine. In the first operation mode, an operation amount of a pseudo-clutch pedal and a shift position of a pseudo-gearshift are input to the MT vehicle model to reflect operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal and operation of the pseudo-gearshift in electric motor control. In the second operation mode where the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal is not needed, an operation amount of a clutch pedal calculated by a driver model is input to the MT vehicle model instead of the operation amount of the pseudo-clutch pedal.

Axial Flux Outboard Propulsion System for an Electric Boat having a first axial flux motor that is positioned adjacent to a second axial flux motor and the ability to selectively turn each motor on or off via the control system based on the request or need for torque.

A controller, responsive to a request to DC fast charge a traction battery at a charge station that offers a plurality of DC fast charge rates each with a cost per unit time that increases as the rate increases, generates output, only for each of the rates that correspond to an aging parameter for the traction battery that is less than a threshold value, indicating a cost to charge the traction battery at the rate.

A method for controlling a vehicle system includes determining a vehicle reference speed using an off-board-based input speed and an onboard-based input speed. The off-board-based input speed is representative of a moving speed of the vehicle system and is determined from data received from an off-board device. The onboard-based input speed is representative of the moving speed of the vehicle system and is determined from data obtained from an onboard device. The method includes using the vehicle reference speed to at least one of measure wheel creep for one or more wheels of the vehicle system or control at least one of torques applied by or rotational speeds of one or more motors of the vehicle system.

A system and method is provided for determining a target state of charge (SOC) to charge a storage battery in an electric vehicle using electric power from an external power source. Charging the storage battery to the target SOC occurs prior to starting a drive cycle of the vehicle. The target SOC is determined based on a profile of regenerative braking energy expected to be recovered and a profile of energy expected to be used from the battery during a portion of a future drive cycle.
