ELECTRICALLY POWERED OR HYBRID VEHICLE COMPRISING A BATTERY CHARGING CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

The vehicle has a storage battery (16) to turn an electric machine and to receive a charge from the machine when it runs as a generator. A control unit controls a calculation unit (281) to determine a mode of traction in a heat engine or machine based on state of battery charge and torque required by the vehicle. An additional control unit is activated from inside of the vehicle to choose a required traction mode. The battery is charged by a source of external electrical energy, which is linked to the battery by connectors (40, 42).
