A vehicle includes a power storage device, a discharging port, a power conversion circuit, and a controller. The discharging port includes a first output terminal, a second output terminal and a ground terminal. Each of the first output terminal and the second output terminal is not grounded to a body of the vehicle. The controller is configured to obtain a requested voltage value of a discharging connector connected to the discharging port. When the discharging connector is connected to the discharging port, the controller controls the power conversion circuit such that a voltage corresponding to the requested voltage value of the discharging connector is applied between the first output terminal and the second output terminal.

A method for controlling an item of electrical equipment of a motor vehicle including a device for controlling the item of equipment including a microcontroller, which is configured to generate an AC electrical signal for controlling the item of equipment characterized by its duty cycle, and a driver interface that is characterized by a maximum operating temperature threshold beyond which the driver interface is inoperative. The method includes determining the internal temperature of the driver interface, comparing the determined internal temperature with a first predetermined warning threshold and decreasing the duty cycle of the electrical signal when the first warning threshold has been exceeded so as to limit the power of the electrical signal and thus to keep the internal temperature of the driver interface below its maximum operating temperature threshold.

Systems and apparatuses include a circuit structured to communicate with a real-time-clock battery and to selectively communicate with a vehicle battery, inhibit communication between the real-time-clock battery and a controller when a first voltage is received from the vehicle battery, and provide a communication from the real-time-clock battery to the controller when the first voltage is not received.

A vehicle system includes a floor. A dashboard is positioned vehicle-upward of the floor. A plurality of seating assemblies are coupled to the floor and are arranged into a first row and a second row. A base is coupled to the floor and comprises a trough that extends vehicle-rearward from a forward end to a rearward end. A storage console is coupled to the base and is operable to slide within the trough between a forward position that is proximate to the forward end, a rearward position that is proximate to the rearward end, and an intermediate position there between.

An electrical power system for a vehicle comprising a base powernet and a primary powernet electrically connected to primary safety critical loads. A switch is disposed between the base powernet and the primary powernet. The switch is configured to transition between a closed state that electrically connects the base powernet to the primary powernet and an open state that disconnects the base powernet from the primary powernet.
