  • Publication number: 20230202457
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling mode switching of a hybrid electric vehicle, and a vehicle is provided, and belongs to the field of hybrid electric vehicles. The method includes: performing, if the drive state information indicates that a current drive mode of the hybrid electric vehicle is a forward mode of a non-hybrid drive and in a case that a current speed reaches a speed limit, a pre-gear operation when a transmission gear of the hybrid electric vehicle is a neutral gear, to switch the transmission gear from the neutral gear to a second gear. The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can make the hybrid electric vehicle unable to switch to the hybrid drive mode due to the limitation of the ability of synchronizer on gear shifting when driving at a high speed.

  • Publication number: 20230182603
    Abstract: The vehicle includes a battery pack. When the battery pack is charged by using a charging gun of a charging pile, battery pack is charged according to smaller value of a first charging current upper limit value of a charging device and a second charging current upper limit value of the battery pack, so that the charging efficiency is improved to the greatest extent, and the charging time is shortened on the premise of ensuring safety, and a situation that the charging time is prolonged as the charging current is set to be too small is avoided; and when the battery pack is charged by using an on-board charging gun, the battery pack is charged according to the smallest value of the first charging current upper limit value of the charging device, the second charging current upper limit value of the battery pack, and a preset charging current value.
