High voltage cable routing for electrified vehicle
An electrified vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage system supported by the chassis, a high voltage component, a conduit, a high voltage cable, and a controller. The high voltage cable is routed through the conduit and provides high voltage power between the energy storage system and the high voltage component. The controller is configured to (a) initiate an alarm if a person is attempting to access the high voltage cable with the high voltage power active, (b) disengage a contactor of the energy storage system to stop providing the high voltage power through the high voltage cable in response to (i) the person attempting to access the high voltage cable with the high voltage power active and/or (ii) the person accessing the conduit, and/or (c) prevent access to the high voltage cable in response to the contactor being engaged and the high voltage power being active.
BATTERY DIGITAL ASSETS, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A vehicle battery device comprising a vehicle battery is described. The vehicle battery has a first identifier and a second identifier. The first identifier is publicly ascertainable and associated to a discrete vehicle battery. The first identifier represents the associated vehicle battery to be uniquely distinct from other vehicle batteries. The second identifier is different from the first identifier, an electronically retrievable identifier, confidential, and ascertainable by conformance with a security protocol.
VEHICLE BATTERY SECURING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Systems and methods related to securing batteries to micro-mobility transit vehicles are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for securing a battery of a micro-mobility transit vehicle includes connecting a first electrical interface of the battery with a second electrical interface of a battery compartment in which to place the battery. The method includes inserting a mechanical interface extending from the battery into a receiving interface defined in a side of the battery compartment of the micro-mobility transit vehicle. The method includes placing the battery within the battery compartment. The method includes rotating a battery compartment door to a closed position. The method includes engaging locking cams at a first end of the battery compartment door to secure the battery compartment door in the closed position and the battery within the battery compartment.
