Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for determining guidance information for a vehicle. For instance, the method may include: determining whether the vehicle requires a charging event at least based on a state of charge of a battery system of the vehicle; determining a charging location of a charging station from a plurality of charging stations based on data associated with the vehicle and/or data associated with each of the plurality of charging stations; determining a current location of the vehicle; determining information to guide the vehicle from the current location to the determined charging location and align a charging interface of the vehicle to a charging interface of the charging location; and causing display of the determined information.

A system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor, operably coupled to the memory, that executes the computer executable components comprising: a scheduler component that schedules an electric charging time slot for a charging patch of a road for an electric vehicle based on an energy requirement of the electric vehicle and a destination arrival time requirement of the electric vehicle. In an embodiment, the scheduler component can schedule the electric charging time slot further based on passenger range anxiety. In an embodiment, the electric charging time slot can be adjusted based on a second energy requirement of a second electric vehicle.

A battery replacement system for controlling a battery pack loadout for an aircraft includes a vehicle including a battery storage assembly, a controller, and a battery transfer assembly. The battery storage assembly is configured for storing at least one stored battery pack. The controller is configured to identify an energy storage prerequisite for a flight or series of flights of the aircraft using flight information for the aircraft and to identify a battery pack loadout plan for the aircraft using the energy storage prerequisite.

A route determination unit determines a traveling route of a work vehicle on a work site. An electric power determination unit determines a target electric power generation of a fuel cell during traveling on the traveling route based on topography of the traveling route. The work vehicle controls the fuel cell such that the target electric power generation is output during traveling on the traveling route and controls charging or discharging of a battery based on a difference between required electric power needed for driving the work vehicle and the target electric power generation.

Proposed is an apparatus, software program, and a corresponding method of controlling driving of an electrified vehicle. The method includes increasing a level of regenerative braking on the basis of a remaining distance from the vehicle to a stop-event point when a brake control mode is entered, determining whether or not braking needs to be performed, on the basis of a stop approval signal when the remaining distance is equal to or less than a preset first distance in the brake control mode, and decreasing the level of regenerative braking when a distance of traveling of the vehicle from the stop-event point is equal or greater than a preset second distance in the brake control mode.

A system can include a computer coupled to a memory storing instructions to determine an upcoming interval for operating a sensor at a planned destination and to determine an upcoming duration for travel to the planned destination. In response to determining that a battery coupled to the sensor includes a state-of-charge (SOC) that is insufficient to operate the sensor for the upcoming interval, programming of the computer can schedule a charge interval during vehicle travel to the planned destination and actuate the battery charging according to the scheduled charge interval during the vehicle travel.

A method of preconditioning a battery of a vehicle includes determining a baseline preconditioning start time relative to an estimated time of arrival at a charging station. The method further includes analyzing a route of the vehicle to the charging station to determine a route characteristic. The method further includes modifying the baseline preconditioning start time based on the route characteristic to determine a route-based preconditioning start time.

A method for operating a motor vehicle includes operating the motor vehicle in a drive mode, a recuperation mode or a charging mode, wherein when operating the motor vehicle in the recuperation mode, a recuperation driving route driven during the recuperation mode and an associated recuperation energy amount are determined and are stored as driving route data in a driving route memory and/or are transmitted to an external data storage device; wherein when switching into the charging mode or when operating the motor vehicle in the charging mode an expected driving route of the motor vehicle is predictively determined and for the expected driving route the driving route data are read out from the driving route memory and/or are requested from external data storage device; wherein the target state of charge is set to a value which is determined from a maximal state of charge of the energy storage and the recuperation energy amount stored in the driving route data.

A system for cost-effective charge planning for a battery of a vehicle includes a battery having a SOC corresponding to an amount of energy stored by the battery. The system also includes an internal electric vehicle charger capable of receiving energy from a charging station and transferring the energy to the battery to increase the SOC. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) that can predict a route set including a first destination and a second destination and an amount of time spent at each. The ECU can determine charge planning data including an amount of energy required to reach the first and second destinations and a cost of energy at the first and second destinations. The ECU can determine how much to charge the battery at the first destination and at the second destination based on the predicted route set and the determined charge planning data.
