20100116571 | VEHICLE - A vehicle is a hybrid vehicle including an engine driven by fuel, and the vehicle includes a motor-generator driven by electric power and a charge plug to which a connector is removably connected, the charge plug being capable of at least one of being supplied with electric power from the connector and supplying electric power to the connector. An engine is arranged to be offset toward one side surface and the charge plug is provided in the other side surface. | 05-13-2010 |
20110140659 | POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND POWER MANAGEMENT METHOD - A power management system is a system for performing power management on a management subject apparatus that includes a charging unit for charging a storage apparatus installed in a vehicle. The power management system includes: a detection unit that detects a power consumed by the management subject apparatus; an adjustment unit that adjusts a charging power charged to the vehicle from the charging unit; and a control unit that controls the adjustment unit. The control unit determines an allowable power that can be supplied to the vehicle from the charging unit, notifies the vehicle of the allowable power, and controls the adjustment unit such that a power transmitted to the vehicle is reduced when a response to the notification of the allowable power is not received. With the system according to the invention, restrictions on charging subject vehicles can be alleviated without increasing a charging capacity of a charging facility. | 06-16-2011 |
20110290572 | Vehicle - A vehicle is a hybrid vehicle including an engine driven by fuel, and the vehicle includes a motor-generator driven by electric power and a charge plug to which a connector is removably connected, the charge plug being capable of at least one of being supplied with electric power from the connector and supplying electric power to the connector. An engine is arranged to be offset toward one side surface and the charge plug is provided in the other side surface. | 12-01-2011 |
20110315461 | Vehicle - A vehicle is a hybrid vehicle including an engine driven by fuel, and the vehicle includes a motor-generator driven by electric power and a charge plug to which a connector is removably connected, the charge plug being capable of at least one of being supplied with electric power from the connector and supplying electric power to the connector. An engine is arranged to be offset toward one side surface and the charge plug is provided in the other side surface. | 12-29-2011 |
20130289815 | VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS - A GPS, a map information, and a communication unit which are included in a vehicle control apparatus acquire road information on a road on which a vehicle travels, and a hybrid ECU sets a battery residual capacity target value which is a target value of residual capacity of a battery which is a power source driving the vehicle. In addition, the hybrid ECU predicts a vehicle driver's operation, based on the road information acquired by the GPS and the like. Furthermore, the hybrid ECU modifies the battery residual capacity target value which has been set, based on the road information, according to the predicted vehicle driver's operation. Therefore, it is possible to more appropriately set the battery residual capacity target value according to the road information on the road, and the driver's operation performed on the road. | 10-31-2013 |
20130293366 | VEHICLE CAPABLE OF INDICATING A POSITION OF AN ELECTRICAL POWER-RECEIVING UNIT - A communication unit periodically transmits a request signal toward a prescribed range. When a transmitter exists in the range where the request signal can be received, it sends identification information in a responsive manner. A comparison ECU compares the identification information provided from the communication unit with a predetermined value, and if both of them match with each other, notifies a matching notification to a power source management ECU. On receipt of the matching notification from the comparison ECU, the power source management ECU notifies a lighting-up request for providing an instruction for lighting-up of a light-emitting unit to a body ECU. Upon receipt of the lighting-up request, the body ECU activates a lighting-up command LON. As a result, the light-emitting unit is lit up and notifies a user of the position of a charging port. | 11-07-2013 |
20140138172 | INDICATOR APPARATUS FOR HYBRID VEHICLE, HYBRID VEHICLE, INDICATING METHOD FOR HYBRID VEHICLE - An indicator portion includes a first indicator portion and a second indicator portion. The first indicator portion indicates an accelerator pedal opening degree that changes in accordance with an operated amount of the accelerator pedal by the driver. The second indicator portion includes a division line and regions divided by the division line. The division line shows an accelerator pedal opening degree where traveling modes (EV mode and HV mode) are switched. The regions show the ranges of accelerator pedal opening degrees where traveling is performed in EV mode and HV mode, respectively. | 05-22-2014 |
20150019060 | TRAVEL CONTROL DEVICE - A travel control device selects the travel modes of the hybrid vehicle that includes a battery configured to be charged with electric power from an external power source, an MG configured to generate a driving force for running with the electric power of the battery, and an engine configured to generate a driving force for running. The travel control device includes a second estimating unit and a drive switching unit. The second estimating unit estimates an expected charging time at a destination where the battery can be charged. The drive switching unit increases a usage frequency of the EV mode until reaching to the destination in a case where the expected charging time estimated by the second estimating unit is longer than a case where expected charging time is short. | 01-15-2015 |
