Abstract: A battery electric vehicle (BEV) is provided that includes a vehicle frame and a power train carried by the vehicle frame and configured to provide motive force to the BEV in response to electrical power provided thereto. The BEV also includes a battery system that includes a battery controller and one or more batteries responsive to battery control signals provided by the battery controller in order to provide the electrical power to the power train. The BEV further includes an internal combustion engine (ICE) system to extend a range of the BEV. The ICE system includes a plurality of ICE components including an ICE and a generator driven by the ICE. The BEV additionally includes an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to receive on board diagnostic (OBD) signals from the ICE system and signals from the battery system for meeting OBD requirements.

Abstract: A rotary machine includes a rotor rotatable about a rotation axis and a stator mechanically divided into stator segments, each covering a respective section in relation to the rotation axis. Coils of one individual multi-phase rotary system are respectively arranged in the stator segments, each having terminals which connect phase lines of an individual multi-phase rotary system and are connected to the coils. A converter unit includes multiple subunits operated independently of one another, each forming an individual multi-phase rotary system. The number of phases of the subunits corresponds to the number of stator segments. The terminals of the stator segments are each connected to a subunit. The stator segments form groups of directly successive stator segments when viewed about the rotation axis. The terminals of the stator segments are connected to the same sub-unit within each group, but connected to different sub-units from group to group of stator segments.
