A method of repairing a used battery pack from an electric vehicle include removing the battery pack from the vehicle. Battery tests are performed on at least some of the plurality of batteries and a battery test result for each of the batteries tested are obtained and stored in a database. A plurality of replacement batteries are tested and test results for each of the replacement batteries are stored in the database. The battery test results from the database are retrieved and used to create a refurbished battery pack. An apparatus includes a database for storing test results.

An engine control device for an electric vehicle having an electrical rotating machine, includes: an engine control unit determining an engine rotational speed and an engine torque such that a particulate number of particulate matter per unit gas quantity that the engine releases into an atmosphere becomes equal to or less than a target value having been set in association with a warm-up state of the engine, the engine rotational speed, and the engine torque, and such that the engine rotational speed when a vehicle speed is less than a threshold value is lower than the engine rotational speed when the vehicle speed is equal to or more than the threshold value, and controlling the engine based on the determined engine rotational speed and the engine torque.

Disclosed are a charging control method and system for a range extend electric vehicle, and the electric vehicle. The control method includes: presetting a first threshold value and a second threshold value and executing the following steps: when the electric quantity of a battery is lower than the second threshold value, performing forced charging on the battery; when the electric quantity of the battery is lower than the first threshold value and higher than the second threshold value, proceeding to a subsequent step to determine whether Pv+Pb.sub.1>Pu is met, Pv, Pb.sub.1 and Pu respectively representing current vehicle driving required power, minimum required charging power of the battery and maximum power of a high efficiency running range of an engine; if not, determining the time as an optimal charging time, controlling the engine to increase the power to Pu, and charging the battery with a power of Pu−Pv; and if so, skipping performing charging, and predicting an optimal charging time for charging according to a terrain condition or road environment ahead. On the basis of the above charging control method, the optimal charging time of the range extend electric vehicle can be predicted, ensuring that the engine runs in a high efficiency power range while charging the battery, and achieving better economic efficiency.

An example operation includes one or more of obtaining charge by a transport via a first charging capability while traveling along a route to a destination and re-routing the transport to obtain additional charge via a secondary charging capability while decreasing a travel time to the destination.
