BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240253476 titled 'BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLE

The patent application describes a battery electric vehicle with an accelerator pedal, a shifter, a mode selection device, and a motor control device.

  • The mode selection device allows the driver to choose between manual and automatic control modes for the electric motor.
  • In the manual mode, the motor control device adjusts the motor output based on the shifter position and accelerator pedal operation.
  • In the automatic mode, the motor output is adjusted solely based on the accelerator pedal operation, regardless of the shifter position.
  • When acceleration control is requested in the manual mode, the motor control device switches control from manual to automatic mode.

Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Automotive industry - Sustainable transportation

Problems Solved: - Efficient control of electric motor output - Seamless transition between manual and automatic control modes

Benefits: - Improved driving experience - Enhanced energy efficiency - Simplified operation for the driver

Commercial Applications: - Electric vehicle manufacturers - Automotive technology companies - Sustainable transportation initiatives

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the mode selection device impact the overall performance of the electric vehicle? 2. What are the potential implications of the motor control device switching between manual and automatic modes during acceleration?


Original Abstract Submitted

a battery electric vehicle includes: an accelerator pedal; a shifter; a mode selection device that selects a control mode for an electric motor from a manual mode and an automatic mode in accordance with a mode selection operation by a driver; and a motor control device. the motor control device varies an output characteristic of the electric motor for an operation of the accelerator pedal in accordance with an operation position of the shifter in the manual mode. the motor control device varies an output of the electric motor in accordance with the operation of the accelerator pedal, irrespective of the operation position of the shifter, in the automatic mode. when acc is requested during control in the manual mode, the motor control device switches control for the electric motor from the manual mode to the automatic mode.
