When an electric vehicle is traveling downhill, experiencing regenerative braking, or otherwise forcing the vehicle motor to turn faster than the commanded motor torque, the vehicle motor produces electrical energy that can be used to recharge a vehicle battery. However, if the vehicle battery is already nearly or fully charged, the excess electrical energy produced may damage the battery. Control systems described herein may reduce and/or dispose of the excess energy by manipulating the motor flux (i.e., direct) current and quadrature current independently.

There is provided a system for mounting accessories on skateboards including a mounting baseplate having at least two mounting holes, a receiving port formed by a first support and a second support, wherein the second support includes a retention element, the supports extending from the second side of the mounting baseplate, the receiving port angled at a mounting angle, a securing element extending through the first support and the second support and engaging the retention element, and an accessory housing including an accessory body housing an accessory, and a mounting element extending from the accessory body, the accessory housing connected to the mounting baseplate by the mounting element engaged with the receiving port and secured in place by the securing element, and wherein the receiving port is oriented at the mounting angle to allow engagement of the accessory housing without interference from a truck mounting hardware.
