Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to a motor vehicle, including: a battery pack electrically connected to an electric machine and a plurality of electrical loads, wherein the motor vehicle is operable in a full power mode in which power can flow from the battery pack to the electric machine and each of the plurality of electrical loads, and a battery save mode in which a flow of power is prevented between the battery pack and either or both of the electric machine or at least some of the plurality of electrical loads; and a controller configured to command the motor vehicle to operate in the battery save mode if the motor vehicle has been parked in a known extended parking location for a first time period, or if the motor vehicle has been parked in a location other than a known extended parking location for a second time period longer than the first time period.

Abstract: A clamp includes a body extending between a receiver end and an engagement end, an outer receiver member extending outward from the body to define a receiver proximate to the receiver end between the outer receiver member and the body, an engagement feature coupled to the body proximate the engagement end and configured to be received by the receiver, and a gusset feature coupled to the body and the outer receiver member. The gusset feature extends across the receiver from the outer receiver member to the body.
