  • Regenerative braking control method and system
    Patent number: 10421362
    Abstract: A regenerative braking system separate from a friction braking system of a vehicle is disclosed. According to certain embodiments, the regenerative braking system may include at least one actuator and a controller. The controller may be configured to: determine whether an accelerator pedal is depressed; when the accelerator pedal is depressed, determine an amount of regenerative braking based on behavior of the accelerator pedal; when the accelerator pedal is not depressed, determine the amount of regenerative braking based on motion of the vehicle; and control the at least one actuator to generate the determined amount of regenerative braking.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 24, 2019
    Assignee: FARADAY&FUTURE INC.
    Inventors: Thomas Jackson Hall, Brian Neal Harries, Som Khamly

  • BATTERY THERMAL MANAGEMENT FOR HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES USING A PHASE-CHANGE MATERIAL COLD PLATE
    Publication number: 20160006088
    Abstract: A thermal management system for an energy storage device that includes a liquid-cooled cold plate made of phase-change material changeable from a substantially solid form to a substantially liquid form upon absorbing heat generated by the energy storage device. The system may be useful as a thermal management solution for energy storage systems (ESS) in hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV).
