Abstract: Automatic ejection assemblies for an electric vehicle plug and methods for controlling the same. An automatic ejection assembly includes a mounting assembly for mounting the automatic ejection assembly to an electric vehicle plug and a first automatic ejection mechanism configured to cause the electric vehicle plug to eject from an electric vehicle. A method includes detecting a disconnect trig per by an automatic ejection control system, where the disconnect trigger indicated that an automatic-eject plug should be ejected from an electric vehicle. The method includes, in response to detecting the disconnect trigger, controlling an ejection assembly connected to the automatic-eject plug to cause the automatic-eject plug to eject from the electric vehicle.

Abstract: A battery charger is configured to perform a battery charging method. The method includes determining a magnitude of a parasitic load on a battery. The method also includes adjusting an absorption stage of a multi-step charging process for the battery based on the determined magnitude of the parasitic load. The method further includes charging the battery using the multi-step charging process with the adjusted absorption stage.
