  • Publication number: 20240174078
    Abstract: An integrated electric power take-off includes an electric motor that is driven by an electric motor of an electric vehicle, a hydraulic pump or a similar device that is adapted to operate a rotatably driven accessory provided on the electric vehicle, and a geartrain system connected between the electric motor and the hydraulic pump. The geartrain system is an integral portion of the integrated electric power take-off that permits an optimal selection of the electric motor and the hydraulic pump to be made for each specific application.

  • Publication number: 20230420759
    Abstract: Systems and methods for an energy storage device having a port, a motion sensor, an ambient light sensor, a status indicator having one or more segments, and one or more processors coupled to memory. The energy storage device can determine a state of the energy storage device, detect a movement, and detect an ambient light level. The energy storage device can illuminate a status indicator. The processors determine the brightness for the number of the one or more segments based on the ambient light level, and determine the number of the segments to illuminate based on the state of the energy storage device.

  • Publication number: 20230207918
    Abstract: Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative control units, systems, and methods. In an illustrative embodiment, a control unit includes a processor and non-transitory computer-readable media that stores computer-executable instructions configured to cause the processor to determine a start charging time, receive a battery temperature value, and instruct the thermal control system to start heating the battery responsive to the start charging time and the battery temperature value in an energy saving way.
