Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a vehicle power system, which includes an electric motor, a primary power source that energizes the electric motor, wherein the primary power source employs a turbine to generate electricity, a second power source that supplements the primary power source to energize the electric motor, and a control component that monitors power provided to the electric motor by the primary power source, that determines that additional power needs to be provided to the electric motor in order to meet a driving requirement, and that directs additional power from the second power source to the electric motor.

Abstract: An electric vehicle includes an electric drive component; a lithium titanate oxide battery pack comprising LTO battery cells; and a range extender. The range extender has a first state to deliver power to the electric drive component, a second state to charge the LTO battery pack, a third state to deliver power to the electric drive component and charge the LTO battery pack, and a fourth state in which it does not deliver power outward. The electric drive component has a first state to receive power delivered from the LTO battery pack, a second state to receive power delivered from the range extender, a third state to receiver power delivered from the LTO battery pack and the range extender, a fourth state to recover braking energy to charge the LTO battery pack, and a fifth state in which it does not receive power and does not recover the braking energy.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electric vehicle, the electric vehicle including an electric drive component, a lithium titanate oxide battery pack comprising LTO battery cells electrically connected to the electric drive component and a range extender electrically connected to the LTO battery pack and the electric drive component. The method includes: determining a route from a start location to a destination; and determining whether a state of charge of the LTO battery pack is sufficient to power the electric vehicle to reach the destination. When the state of charge of the LTO battery pack is sufficient to power the electric vehicle to reach the destination, using the LTO battery pack only to power the electric vehicle; or when the state of charge of the LTO battery pack is not sufficient to power the electric vehicle to reach the destination, using the range extender to power the electric vehicle.

Abstract: A system and method to control delivery of driving force generated from multiple energy sources to a drive train of a vehicle in motion. In one embodiment, the method includes checking whether the vehicle is in one of a first fuel mode, a second fuel mode, and a third fuel mode, wherein when the vehicle is in the first fuel mode, a first type of fuel is provided to an internal combustion engine, when the vehicle is in the second fuel mode, a second type of fuel is provided to the internal combustion engine, and when the vehicle is in the third fuel mode, no fuel is provided to the internal combustion engine but the drive train is powered by electricity, displaying the status of the current driving mode on a display, receiving a commanding signal for a change of the driving mode, when the change requires a shifting between the first fuel mode and the second fuel mode, and activating a first and a second electric motors to be able to drive the drive train.
