Systems and methods are provided herein for detecting a collision event and taking measures to reduce resulting damage and injury. This may be accomplished by an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) receiving power from a first power source, wherein the EVCS uses the power to charge an electric vehicle. The EVCS can use a sensor to detect an object within a threshold distance of the EVCS. The EVCS can use the information collected by the sensor to determine if the object will contact the EVCS. If the EVCS determines that the object will contact the EVCS the EVCS can take measures (e.g., stop receiving power from the power source) to reduce damage and/or injury.

A control device may be configured for responding to failure for ensuring the stability of a vehicle by switching from a two-wheel-drive mode to a four-wheel-drive mode when detecting failure of the brake system in a two-wheel-drive mode.

The application relates to direct current, DC, charging cable including two DC conductors configured for transmitting electrical energy between an electrical vehicle and a charging device, at least a signal line having a first signal line end and a second, opposite signal line end and a control device, the first signal line end is connected at a first connection point to one of the DC conductors, and the control device is configured for measuring a voltage difference between the second signal line end and a second connection point of the one of the DC conductors distant to the first connection point for determining a temperature of the DC charging cable.

Disclosed is a battery module, which includes a plurality of battery cells disposed to face each other and arranged side by side at least in a first direction, a module cover configured to accommodate the plurality of battery cells and formed to have at least one open side, and a pair of buffering members located between one side of a battery cell located at an outermost side in the first direction among the plurality of battery cells and a side of the module cover so that at least a part thereof is in contact with the sides of the battery cells and the module cover, respectively, wherein the buffering member is a leaf spring having at least one bent portion.

A device and method determines available regenerative braking energy in a route for a target vehicle. The device is in communication with a navigation unit and is configured to split the at least one route between a source and a destination into multiple segments followed by determining vehicular data of the target vehicle. The device determines available/recoverable regenerative braking energy in the at least one route for the target vehicle based on selective vehicular data of other vehicles similar to the target vehicle, which have travelled through the at least one route. The device is configured to dynamically predict the available regenerative braking energy originating from random longitudinal deceleration maneuvers for the chosen route from source location to the chosen destination location for any hybrid or electric vehicle. The device improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.
