  • Patent number: 11845460
    Abstract: A method of virtualizing the characteristics of an internal-combustion-engine vehicle in an electric vehicle includes: receiving vehicle driving information of the electric vehicle at a controller, determining a current vehicle driving mode based on the input vehicle driving information by the controller, determining a virtual engine speed in the determined vehicle driving mode using the vehicle driving information by the controller, outputting a control signal for virtualizing characteristics of an internal-combustion-engine (ICE) driving system corresponding to a current vehicle driving mode based on the determined virtual engine speed by the controller, and virtualizing the characteristics of the ICE driving system corresponding to the current vehicle driving mode by controlling an operation of a virtualization device according to the output control signal by the controller.

  • Publication number: 20220169123
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of generating a virtual shift effect in an electric vehicle are provided. The apparatus for generating a virtual shift effect in an electric vehicle includes: a driving information detector configured to detect driving information of the electric vehicle; a controller configured to determine a virtual shift point based on the detected driving information and output a control signal for generating the virtual shift effect at the determined virtual shift point; and a disconnector configured to disengage power transmission between sub-driving wheels and sub-wheel motor, wherein the disconnector is engaged or disengaged according to the control signal output, and generates an impact occurring upon the engagement or disengagement of the disconnector as the virtual shift effect.

  • Patent number: 11208005
    Abstract: An automatic APS map generating method is provided. The automatic APS map generating method includes measuring a state of charge (SOC) of a battery using a SOC sensor and calculating, a maximum torque of a motor based on the battery SOC and a creep torque based on a current vehicle state to set the creep torque as a minimum torque of the motor. An APS map is generated using an APS percentage table obtained and stored by converting torque values capable of being output by the motor into percentages based on a vehicle speed and an accelerator pedal position sensor (APS) percentage.

  • Patent number: 9917472
    Abstract: A method and controller for controlling scheduled charging of an electric vehicle. A charging start time is scheduled in the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle is connected to a charger by means of a control line. A standby signal is transfers on the control line, and the charger enters into a charging standby mode. A charging control switch of the electric vehicle is then turned on (and subsequently off) for a first time at every first period so that the charger stays in the charging standby mode. At the scheduled charging start time, the charging control switch is turned on and left on so that the charger starts charging the electric vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9527397
    Abstract: An apparatus for preventing overshoot at the beginning of slow charging is provided. The apparatus includes a controller configured to receive initial charging command information during slow charging from electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and generate initial charging information for preventing overshoot using the initial charging command information. The apparatus further includes a charger for performing charging of a battery using the initial charging information, and a battery management system (BMS) configured to generate sensing information by sensing the charger, and charge the battery using the sensing information based on an originally set algorithm of the EVSE after a preset time based on whether the charging of the battery is stabilized.
