Abstract: A hybrid vehicle includes a hybrid powertrain having a high-voltage power bus. The vehicle further includes an electrical outlet having at least one socket configured to receive a power cord of an electrical load. A vehicle controller is programmed to receive a user-specified current limit for the socket, and, responsive to current of the socket exceeding the user-specified limit, de-energize the socket.

Abstract: A hybrid vehicle includes a power bus electrically connected to an inverter and an electrical socket electrically connected to the power bus. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is electrically connected between the power bus and the socket. The GFCI has a circuit breaker with a mechanical reset. An actuator arrangement is configured to actuate the mechanical reset to reset the circuit breaker.

Abstract: A control system for a vehicle includes a controller. The controller is configured to open traction battery contactors based on a potential between high-voltage cables and a chassis continuously exceeding an amplitude threshold for at least a predefined duration of time. The controller is further configured to selectively open the contactors based on data derived from the potential for periods that are each defined by the potential exceeding and then falling below the amplitude threshold without exceeding the predefined duration of time.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a powertrain configured to transfer energy to a tire and including both an engine and an electric machine. The vehicle also includes a controller configured to charge a traction battery with torque captured by the electric machine in excess of torque required to maintain the departure. The charging is in response to indication of departure from static friction between the tire and a surface during a line lock tire slip event powered by the engine.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a battery charger and an exterior lamp assembly. The assembly includes a housing defining a cavity, and an electrical port including at least one electrical terminal disposed within the cavity, electrically connected with the battery charger, and configured to be electrically connected with an electrical power grid remote from the vehicle.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling heating of at least one of an engine and a battery in a hybrid vehicle includes at least one heater and at least one system controller. The system controller receives a command signal and generates a heater control signal based on the command signal. The heater is in the hybrid vehicle and is electrically coupled to an electrical port integrated in the hybrid vehicle. The electrical port receives electric power from a power source external to the hybrid vehicle. In addition, the system includes a heater switch. The heater switch receives the heater control signal to control an amount of energy transferred from the electrical port to the heater and the heater selectively heats at least one of the engine and the battery in the hybrid vehicle.
