  • Patent number: 10445962
    Abstract: A modular vehicle system is provided, comprising an electric vehicle, particularly a light electric vehicle, with at least a control device; an on-board power supply system for energy supply of an electric drive unit; an interface, connected to the on-board power supply system for connection of at least one module; and first locking means arranged at the interface. The modular vehicle system further comprising a module, with a module control, configured to communicate with the control device; an electric arrangement; a connecting element, separably connectable to the interface, for connection of the electric arrangement with the on-board power supply system; and second locking means arranged at the connecting element, formed for engagement with the first locking means, wherein at least one of the locking means is movable between a free position and a locking position.
