Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for recharging a battery of a vehicle. In one example, a method includes activating a recuperative brake during a tow operation of a vehicle. The vehicle is an electric vehicle replenishing a state of charge of a battery thereof without transferring electrical energy from a towing vehicle to the vehicle.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle having a traction battery chargeable from a supply network, that includes loading a position dataset indicative of a present position of the motor vehicle, loading a charging dataset indicative of a quantity of electricity charged into the traction battery of the motor vehicle, determining a position of the motor vehicle by evaluating the position dataset, and assigning the determined position to a charging point.

Abstract: A method for determining delivery energy requirements includes determining a mass of individual partial loads that make up a total payload and a delivery address of each partial load. The method also includes determining possible delivery routes that cover the delivery addresses and for each possible delivery route, determining an expected traffic volume and initial projected energy requirement for a delivery vehicle, based at least in part on the masses and the delivery addresses of the partial loads, the projected energy requirement reflecting energy projected to complete a given possible delivery route based on the expected traffic volume and based on a decreasing total payload diminished by removing, from the total payload and for at least one partial load, the mass of a given partial load scheduled for delivery at a given delivery stop along the delivery route.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a vehicle system. In one example, a method may include ascertaining a functional relationship between the driving resistance and the velocity vveh of a motor vehicle comprising an electrical machine as a torque source for the drive and a storage device for electrical energy.

Abstract: A hybrid electric vehicle having an internal combustion engine and an electrical machine operable as a traction motor with a manual transmission arranged between the engine and the driving wheels and a clutch between the engine and the transmission generates an acoustic notification signal to indicate a gear shift that would result in either an excessive or insufficient engine speed. A different acoustic tone may be provided for a gear shift that would result in excessive engine speed than a gear shift that would result in insufficient engine speed. The acoustic notification signal may be a simulated engine noise.
