  • Patent number: 10286784
    Abstract: An electric transportation system is disclosed. In one aspect, the system includes a wheel, a rechargeable battery having positive and negative poles, and a motor mechanically connected to the wheel and configured to generate a regeneration charge current, the motor including a coil. The system also includes a motor driver connected to the motor and the battery. The motor driver is configured to discharge the battery during a supply period so as to drive the motor and charge the battery with the regeneration charge current, wherein the motor driver includes a plurality of transistors electrically connected to the negative pole during a non-driving period. The system further includes a controller connected to the motor driver and configured to control the motor driver so as to drive the motor during the supply period and control the motor driver so as to charge the battery during the non-driving period.

  • Patent number: 9387775
    Abstract: A system for controlling driving of an electric vehicle including a motor and a method of the same are disclosed. In one aspect, the system includes a battery configured to output a driving current to the motor and a battery capacity calculator configured to determine the remaining battery capacity of the battery. The system also includes a controller configured to limit the driving current to a predetermined current limit value or less when the remaining battery capacity reaches a first predetermined value.
