Publication number: 20150360579Abstract: An electric vehicle includes a voltage converter, a temperature sensor, and a control unit. The voltage converter performs bidirectional voltage conversion between an output electric path and one or both of first and second batteries, while allowing switching of an operating mode between a serial operating mode in which the first and second batteries are connected in series relative to the output electric path, and a parallel operating mode in which the first and second batteries are connected in parallel. The temperature sensor detects a temperature of each battery. The control unit switches the operating mode of the voltage converter. When the temperature of one battery is equal to or larger than a predetermined upper threshold value A, or equal to or smaller than a predetermined lower threshold value B, the control unit switches the operating mode of the voltage converter to the parallel operating mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2015Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventor: Toshiya Hashimoto

Publication number: 20140330472Abstract: When the accelerator and the brake pedal are simultaneously depressed, braking occurs with drive force being produced. This increases the amount of heat produced by a friction braking device. Therefore, when the accelerator and the brake pedal are simultaneously depressed (S100: Yes), the range of use for a regenerative braking device is increased by expanding the regenerative braking limit (S101), thereby decreasing the range of use for the friction braking device, so that the produced heat to be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to simplify the friction braking device and eliminate the need to install a cooling mechanism equipped a high cooling performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2011Publication date: November 6, 2014Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Toshiya Hashimoto, Hideaki Yaguchi
