Motor car e.g. hybrid car, has state detection unit to detect current state of gear selector lever, where change of pre-defined state of gear selector lever is blocked if detecting unit detects that charging plug is plugged in corner box

摘要

The car has A detecting unit (2) detecting whether a charging plug (3) is plugged in a charge corner box (1) of the car. A state detection unit (4) detects a current state of a gear selector lever (5) of the car, where the change of pre-defined state of the gear selector lever is blocked if the detecting unit detects that the charging plug is plugged in the corner box. A roll-away backup (6) is automatically activated based on detection of the charging plug in a charging socket, where the backup includes an electric parking brake or a gear lock. An independent claim is also included for a method for preventing a motor car from rolling away during charging of a battery of the car.
