Abstract: A vehicle includes an Alternating Current (AC) source, a receptacle, and a switch. The AC source has a line and neutral potential. The receptacle is carried by a body of the vehicle and includes line, neutral, and ground conductors, and a ground fault interrupter (GFI) circuit. The switch is coupled between the AC source and the GFI circuit configured to selectively short the neutral and ground conductors.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a double-bend double-girder structure for a scooter. A frame comprises a frame body; at a front end of the frame body, two girders arranged longitudinally in a front-rear direction, a mandrel arranged transversely in a left-right direction and fixed to the girders, and a tiller arranged vertically are provided; one shock absorber is fixed to each of left and right ends of the mandrel, and a lower end of the shock absorber is fixed to a front wheel bar, an outer end of which is fixed to a front wheel; and each of the girders consists of a front girder segment, a middle girder segment and a rear girder segment, the front girder segment being relatively located above the rear girder segment, and the middle girder segment being arranged between the front girder segment and the rear girder segment.

Abstract: A hybrid electric vehicle includes an internal-combustion engine (ICE) and an electric machine coupled to a battery, an off-board power (OBP) system, and a controller, which are configured to power internal vehicle and battery charge electrical loads, and external electrical loads. The controller monitors the electrical loads, and responds to an OBP signal identifying an external electrical load, and commands the ICE and electric machine to generate a combined-power greater than or equal to the loads. This ensures that a battery state-of-charge is sustained and not depleted by power delivery to the external loads. The controller also generates a power-difference signal that identifies a difference between power generated by the electric machine and power consumed by the internal and external OFB electrical loads, such that the controller can adjusted the generated combined-power to minimize the power-difference signal and battery charge-discharge-cycles.
