This application is directed to an apparatus for providing electrical charge to a vehicle. The apparatus comprises a driven mass, a generator, a charger, a hardware controller, and a communication circuit. The driven mass rotates in response to a kinetic energy of the vehicle and is coupled to a shaft such that rotation of the driven mass causes the shaft to rotate. The driven mass exists in one of (1) an extended position and (2) a retracted position. The generator generates an electrical output based on a mechanical input coupled to the shaft such that rotation of the shaft causes the mechanical input to rotate. The charger is electrically coupled to the generator and: receives the electrical output, generates a charge output based on the electrical output, and conveys the charge output to the vehicle. The controller controls whether the driven mass is in the extended position or the retracted position in response to a signal received from the communication circuit.

An outboard motor includes a power converter to convert AC power generated by a generator that generates power by operation of a drive engine into DC power and to supply converted DC power to a plurality of batteries, a voltage detector to detect a voltage value of the DC power converted by the power converter, and a phase angle controller configured or programmed to perform a retarding/advancing control until the voltage value of the DC power becomes equal to or higher than a first preset voltage value, which is higher than a voltage value at a start of the retarding/advancing control.
