Disclosed herein is a quick-change universal power battery for a new energy vehicle. A battery body is provided with a quick-change connection port, a recessed structure, an independent liquid temperature-control loop and a multi-connection port structure. The battery body is provided with a recessed area, and the quick-change connection port is arranged in the recessed area. A power battery system is composed of no more than eight main models of quick-change universal power batteries to achieve battery selection and replacement of most new energy vehicles, and the power battery system is combined with charging to facilitate an electrical-energy supplement of the new energy vehicle. A vehicle and a replacement station are also disclosed.

A total task vehicle (TTV) may operate indoors to move a variety of different types of materials and accomplish a variety of different types of tasks, using tools and accessories powered by/connected to the TTV. One or more high power density (HD) battery packs may provide both 240V DC to 380V DC and 120V AC power to propel the TTV and also to function as a generator for tools and accessories attached to the TTV. A high torque/high speed convertible drive system may allow the TTV to operate in a ride-on mode, a walk-behind mode, providing for flexibility and adaptability in use of the TTV.

A battery mounting structure of an electric vehicle is provided. The battery mounting structure includes a battery case including a side case portion in which a recess portion concave inwardly is formed and a battery connection member mounted in a vehicle body and having an insert portion inserted into the recess portion and connected to the side case portion.

This application is directed to an apparatus for providing electrical charge to a vehicle. The apparatus can comprise a generator, a hardware controller, a capacitor, and a battery. The controller can control whether the capacitor is electrically coupled with the battery based on one or more conditions. The controller can control whether the generator is electrically coupled with the capacitor and/or the battery.

A solar-powered vehicle that includes a body having a front end, rear end, top and opposing sides; two or more wheels; and a first and second solar panel assembly respectively disposed on the opposing sides of the body.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body assembly, and battery cells. The body assembly is coupled to the chassis and defines a refuse compartment. The battery cells are positioned between the body assembly and the chassis.

An electrified vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis at a front end thereof, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, and an energy storage system including a plurality of battery cells. The body assembly is positioned behind the cab with a space defined therebetween. The energy storage system is positioned within the space between the chassis and the body assembly.

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.
