Abstract: This disclosure describes manual release systems for electrified vehicle charge port locks. In some embodiments, a vehicle key may be used to manually override a position of the charge port lock. In other embodiments, a pull button and cable arrangement may be used to manually override the position of the charge port lock. The pull button may be packaged under a vehicle hood and, in some embodiments, may be mounted to either a cooling system component or a grille support structure.

Abstract: This disclosure details exemplary insulating flexible membranes for use with vehicle high voltage modules. The high voltage modules may include any module that is adapted for supporting electric propulsion within the vehicle. The insulating flexible membranes may be attached to an exterior of a housing, to an interior of the housing, or may be disposed about a high voltage component housed inside the module. The insulating flexible membranes of this disclosure are configured to distort to prevent access to damaged high voltage components of the high voltage modules.

Abstract: A wireless charging station includes a movable charger having a primary coil and a controller having memory with a plurality of desired values for tire pressure sensor signal strength. The controller is programmed to position the primary coil relative to a secondary coil of a vehicle based on tire pressure signal strength values from the vehicle and the desired values.

Abstract: A vehicle charger assembly is provided. The vehicle charger assembly includes a plug including a first temperature sensor, and an adapter mechanically and electrically couplable to the plug and including a second temperature sensor. The vehicle charger assembly further includes a charge circuit interrupting device (CCID) in electrical communication with the plug and the adapter and adapted to reduce a charging current in response to a charging temperature associated with one or both of the first and second temperature sensors exceeding a threshold charging temperature.
