Vehicle
An FCV includes: a driving device that generates traveling power by using at least one of electric power output from an FC system and electric power output from a battery; and a display device that presents a first indicator and a second indicator, the first indicator indicating a remaining amount of electric power to be output from the FC system, the second indicator indicating a remaining amount of electric power to be output from the battery. An amount of electric power that can be output from the FC system when the hydrogen tank is full is larger than an amount of electric power that can be output from the battery when the battery is fully charged. A presentation area of the first indicator is larger than a presentation area of the second indicator.
VEHICLE CHARGING CONTROL METHOD AND DEVICE
A vehicle control method and device. The vehicle control method comprises the steps of generating a first control instruction and a second control instruction when a vehicle is in a parking state, so that a fuel cell control unit (FCU) is controlled to perform charging control on a battery management system (BMS) through the first control instruction, a vehicle control unit (VCU) is controlled to perform power-off control on a target component through the second control instruction, and the target component is a non-essential operation component when the vehicle is charged in a parking state; and generating a third control instruction when the vehicle is in a normal operating state, so that the VCU controls the BMS according to the third control instruction. According to the method, under different vehicle states of the BMS, the control instructions are sourced from different control units; after the vehicle enters the parking charging mode, the non-essential components are enabled to stop working to lower a parasitic load, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the system.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE PROPULSION SYSTEM AND PROPULSION SYSTEM OPERATING METHOD
Methods and systems for an electric vehicle (EV) propulsion are provided. A method for operating an EV propulsion system is provided, in one example, that includes, while a traction battery assembly generates electric power, initiating start-up of a hydrogen fuel cell assembly based on a first battery state of charge (SOC) threshold and a first hydrogen fuel storage threshold to transition into a hybrid mode of operation. In the propulsion system, the traction battery assembly includes one or more traction batteries that are electrically coupled to one or more hydrogen fuel cells in the hydrogen fuel cell assembly via a distribution assembly, where the distribution assembly is electrically coupled to a traction motor.
CAR POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL VEHICLE
The present application discloses a car power supply system and a solid oxide fuel cell vehicle. The car power supply system specifically comprises a first battery, a vehicle control unit (VCU), a lithium battery management system, a solid oxide fuel cell control unit, a second battery, a first relay and a second relay. If a solid oxide fuel cell controlled by the solid oxide fuel cell control unit provided by the present application cannot stop working within a short time, the first relay restores the first battery to power the VCU and the lithium battery management system after a start switch stops power supply by the first battery, so that the solid oxide fuel cell control unit is powered by the second battery to make the cell work normally and realize power off, thereby preventing the problem that the solid oxide fuel cell cannot work due to rapid power failure of the vehicle.
