An ECU of a vehicle monitors a charging state when charging is started. When a charging power supplied from a multi-outlet charger has changed without detecting and receiving an abnormality, the ECU causes a notification device to notify the changed charging power and a charging time based on the changed charging power. The ECU notifies a communication terminal which is owned by a user of the changed charging power and the charging time based on the changed charging power.

A moving robot includes: a main body; a traveling unit configured to rotate and move the main body; a sensing unit configured to sense position information of a specific point of a front portion of a docking device; and a controller configured to, based on sensing result of the sensing unit, determine i) whether a first condition, which is preset to be satisfied when the docking device is disposed in a front of the moving robot, is satisfied, and ii) whether a second condition, which is preset to be satisfied when the moving robot is disposed in a front of the moving robot, is satisfied, to control an operation of the traveling unit so as to satisfy the first condition and the second condition, and to move to the front so as to attempt to dock in a state where the first condition and the second condition are satisfied.

A display unit controller of a work vehicle includes a plurality of high-voltage charging systems, at least one of working equipment or a traveling device being driven by an electric motor, the display unit controller including: a charging/operation determination unit that functions as a detection unit detecting an abnormality for each of the charging systems and functions as a determination unit determining availability of work or traveling of the work vehicle; and a display control unit varying a charging availability indication indicating presence or absence of the abnormality for each of the charging systems according to the presence or absence of the abnormality for each of the charging systems based on a detection result of the detection unit, and varying an operation availability indication indicating availability of work or traveling according to the availability of work or traveling based on a determination result of the determination unit.

The present invention provides a management system for managing a battery mounted on a vehicle, comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire rank information indicating a product rank set by a user as a reuse destination of the battery; and a notification unit configured to notify the user of restriction item information indicating an item for restricting a function of the vehicle such that a deterioration state of the battery at a predetermined time satisfies a request state of the product rank, based on the rank information acquired by the acquisition unit.

A setting device including a processor is provided. The processor is configured to, when occurrence of a secondary disaster is predicted after occurrence of a disaster, set a region in which the secondary disaster is predicted to a charging-prohibited zone in which use of a charging facility for charging a battery installed in a vehicle is prohibited.

An electric vehicle charging system and an operation method thereof are provided. The electric vehicle charging system may include a controller, a camera configured to capture a vehicle that is present in a charging station and transmit image information about the vehicle to the controller, a guide unit configured to receive guidance from the controller and output the guidance, and a plurality of chargers provided in the charging station and communicably connected to the controller. The controller may analyze information about the vehicle based on the image information received from the camera, may guide a member vehicle registered to receive charging service to move to a charger for members, may guide a nonmember vehicle to move to a charger for nonmembers, and may adjust a ratio of the number of chargers for members to the number of chargers for nonmembers according to an estimated waiting time for charging of the vehicle. The electric vehicle charging system may transmit and receive a wireless signal on a mobile communication network constructed according to 5th generation (5G) communication.

A control device configured to control a vehicle is provided. The device comprises a traveling control unit configured to set an effect degree of a braking force to be given to the vehicle, and an output control unit capable of displaying, on a display device of the vehicle, an indicator representing an upper limit of a settable level of the effect degree.

A battery management system includes one or more processors, a battery comprising a plurality of cells, an output device, an input device, and a memory having an input module, a battery characteristic prediction module, and an output module. The input module includes instructions that cause the one or more processors to receive a mode selection from a user via the input device. The battery characteristic prediction module includes instructions that cause the one or more processors to predict a characteristic of the battery based on the mode selection using an active machine learning model to predict the characteristic of the battery. The output module includes instructions that cause the one or more processors to output an estimated cost to the output device based on the characteristic of the battery determined by the active machine learning model.

A control method of an electric vehicle is provided. The method includes generation of a virtual sensation of gear shifting of an electric vehicle capable of freely, directly changing and adjusting variables related to generation of the virtual sensation of gear shifting to provide drivers with preferred virtual sensation of gear shifting.
