Abstract: A portable, lightweight electric vehicle charging device includes a set of connector cables adapted to connect to battery terminals of first vehicle having an internal combustion engine and includes an EV cable adapted to connect via an EV power connector to a charging port of a second vehicle that is an electric vehicle. The charging device receives DC power from the battery terminals of the alternator, converts it to AC power using an inverter, conditions the output of the inverter, and outputs AC power of at least about 50 watts continuous to the electric vehicle charging port. In other aspects, higher levels out output power are provided, up to about 325 watts continuous, as is limited by the configuration of the charging device circuit and the power output of the first vehicle's alternator.

Abstract: A load center includes a housing, a cover, and a circuit breaker. The load center can be retrofitted to further include a rotational motor, an actuator member, and a guide insert. The rotational motor includes a threaded drive shaft positioned through an aperture formed in the cover. The actuator member is threadingly engaged with the threaded drive shaft. The actuator member is oriented relative to the cover such that a handle of the circuit breaker is positioned through an aperture of the actuating member. Rotation of the threaded drive shaft causes the actuator member to translate such that a first actuating surface of the actuator member engages the handle and switches the handle from an OFF position to an ON position. The handle of the circuit breaker has full range of travel between the ON and OFF positions in response to the actuator member being moved into a neutral position.
