A battery attaching/detaching structure for a saddle-type vehicle including: a plurality of substantially rectangular parallelepiped batteries for supplying electric power to a power source of the saddle-type vehicle; a battery case in which the batteries are stored; battery-side terminals provided on lower surfaces of the batteries; and case-side terminals engaged with the battery-side terminals, comprises terminal holders that support the case-side terminals such that the case-side terminals are movable between a connected position where the case-side terminals are connected to the battery-side terminals and a retracted position where the case-side terminals are separated from the battery-side terminals. Between the case-side terminals and the terminal holders, springs for urging the case-side terminals in a direction of pressing the battery-side terminals are disposed. Such battery attaching/detaching structure is capable of limiting the movement of a stored battery and maintaining good electrical connection between a battery-side terminal and a case-side terminal.

The disclosure is directed to methods and systems for provisioning mobile electric vehicles with various operational settings data transmitted over the air. A vehicle or its components may operate according to operational settings corresponding to operational settings data included in the vehicle components. A server that is remote to the vehicle may comprise operational settings data and may transmit operational settings data to the vehicle. The server may transmit operational settings data automatically, such as on a periodic basis, in response to a request, such as from a user or from a vehicle component or anytime new or updated operational settings data are available for the vehicle or its components.

A battery pack comprises a plurality of batteries which store electric power for activating an electric utility vehicle; a battery case which accommodates the plurality of batteries therein; and an external frame unit which is provided on an outer surface of the battery case and supports the batteries from below, wherein the external frame unit includes a lower support section placed on a lower surface of the battery case, an upper support section placed on an upper surface of the battery case, and a coupling section which couples the lower support section and the upper support section to each other. This allows the battery case to ensure a required stiffness while providing insulation between the batteries and an outside of the batteries, without increasing a thickness of the battery case.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods associated with a micromobility transit vehicle battery connection and lock. In accordance with one or more embodiments, a micromobility transit vehicle is provided. The micromobility transit vehicle may include a frame, a battery configured to be received at least partially within the frame, and a battery lock within the frame. The frame may include a downtube having a recess disposed therein. The battery may be configured to be received within the downtube and the recess to establish a continuous surface comprising one or more outer surfaces of the downtube and one or more outer surfaces of the battery. The battery lock may be positioned within the recess and configured to engage the battery to lock the battery in place.

The present disclosure relates to a battery module support arrangement for supporting a battery module to a longitudinally extending frame rail of an electrified heavy vehicle; the battery module support arrangement comprising a pair of triangularly shaped support brackets spaced apart from each other, each of the triangularly shaped support brackets comprising a rail attachment portion for connecting the triangularly shaped support bracket to the longitudinally extending frame rail, and an angled portion extending downwardly between the rail attachment portion and a lower end portion of the triangularly shaped support bracket, wherein a first one of the triangularly shaped support brackets comprises at least one battery module support portion positioned along the angled portion of the first support bracket, and a second one of the triangularly shaped support brackets comprises a pair of battery module support portions positioned along the angled portion of the second support bracket, wherein the battery module support portion of first support bracket is arranged at a different position along the angled portion compared to the position of the battery module support portions of the second support bracket.

The invention relates to a chassis arrangement for an electrified heavy vehicle, the chassis arrangement comprising a chassis frame with at least one rail extending in a longitudinal direction of the chassis arrangement; at least one battery module for propulsion of the heavy vehicle; and a battery module support arrangement including a rail attachment part attached to the rail, and a battery module attachment part attached to the battery module, the battery module attachment part being releasably connected to the rail attachment part by a stub connection extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the chassis arrangement.

The disclosure provides an electric vehicle. The electric vehicle includes: a vehicle body provided with a power input port and a power supply device. The power supply device includes a charger and a detachable battery pack. The charger includes a power interface for obtaining external power, a charging portion provided with a docking interface, an output part, and a control unit. The output part includes a first power output interface connected with the power input port to supply power to the electric vehicle. When the power interface is connected with the external power, the control unit controls the charging portion to charge the battery pack.

A device includes a battery case (42) that stores a battery (62A or 62B), a lock mechanism (133) that is capable of fixing and holding the stored battery (62A or 62B) in the battery case (42), and an operation member (44) that is capable of performing switching operation of the lock mechanism (133) between a battery-fixed state and a non-battery-fixed state. The lock mechanism (133) includes a movable block (160) which is supported by the battery case (42) in a displaceable manner. The movable block (160) has a battery restriction portion (160b or 160c) which restricts displacement of the battery (62A or 62B) in a separation direction in a state of being displaced to a battery fixing position, and a holding force receiving portion (160d) which receives a holding force for maintaining the movable block (160) at the battery fixing position from the operation member (44) in a state where the operation member (44) is operated within a predetermined positional range.

The invention relates to a device for installing traction batteries underneath a cab of a cab-over-engine vehicle. A base portion defines a space into which a portion of a traction battery pack is receivable by lowering the traction battery pack into said space. Front and rear securing element are connected to the base portion for securing the base portion to front and rear bushings, respectively, of the vehicle. At least one of the securing elements comprises a first securing portion for connecting that securing element to one of said bushings, respectively, and a second securing portion projecting upwardly from the base portion for connecting that securing element to the traction battery pack when the traction battery pack has been received in said space.

The disclosure is directed to methods and systems for provisioning mobile electric vehicles with various operational settings data transmitted over the air. A vehicle or its components may operate according to operational settings corresponding to operational settings data included in the vehicle components. A server that is remote to the vehicle may comprise operational settings data and may transmit operational settings data to the vehicle.
