Abstract: A vehicle charge port assembly includes a housing having a port configured to couple to a charge-station coupler. The port includes a plurality of terminals and a back cover attached to a back side of the housing and defining openings that receive the terminals. The port further includes wires, each joined to one of the terminals, and seals each encircling one of the wires and disposed in a corresponding one of the openings.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for automatically locking and unlocking electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) relative to vehicle inlet assemblies during charging events. A lock may be moved between an engaged position in which a coupler of the EVSE is locked to a charging port and a disengaged positon in which the coupler is unlocked to the charging port. The lock may be moved between the engaged position and the disengaged position in response to a limb of an authorized user being detected within a designated area.

Abstract: An electrified vehicle according to a non-limiting aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a charging port including a lock, an electrical harness electrically coupled to the charging port, a battery assembly electrically coupled to the charging port by the electrical harness, and a manual release cable connected to the lock and routed along the electrical harness. This disclosure also relates to a method.

Abstract: An intelligent climate control system includes presence sensors for detecting the presence of individuals in the seats of the vehicle. Further, the system includes vents for directing conditioned air toward the detected individuals. Vent control modules control the direction of airflow from the vents in response to control signals from a primary controller.

Abstract: A charging system for charging a vehicle includes a charging station and a vehicle. The charging station includes a wireless charging coil, at least one ultrasonic sensor oriented to detect a vehicle proximate the coil, and a first wireless communication device. The vehicle includes a charge plate, a second wireless communications device in communication with the first wireless communication device, an in-vehicle display, and at least one controller. The controller is configured to present positional information via the display. The positional information corresponds to a vehicle position detected by the at least one sensor and transmitted via the first and second wireless communications devices.
