Abstract
A system to recharge an electric vehicle in which the rechargeable battery within the electric vehicle. The rechargeable battery is disengaged from electric vehicle, removed, and a replacement rechargeable battery is placed within the electric vehicle. In this manner, the electric vehicle is fully charged without having to wait at a charging station. An added feature is the easy disconnect of the rechargeable battery from the electric vehicle using an electromagnet connector for the electrical connection. The electromagnet is selectively powered by a secondary battery and adapted to disconnect the releasable electrical connector from the rechargeable battery when said electromagnet is not activated.
Claims17
A system to recharge an electric vehicle comprising:
- a) a rechargeable battery contained within the electric vehicle, said rechargeable battery being secured to the electric vehicle via releasable clamps and electrically connected to the electric vehicle via a releasable electrical connector;
- and,
- b) a rechargeable battery replacement system having,
- 1) a first mechanism adapted to release the clamps from the rechargeable battery and to release the electrical connector from the electric vehicle,
- 2) a second mechanism adapted to separate the rechargeable battery from the electric vehicle,
- 3) a third mechanism adapted to place a replacement rechargeable battery into the electric vehicle, and,
- 4) a fourth mechanism adapted to engage the releasable clamps to the replacement rechargeable battery and to connect the releasable electrical connector to the replacement rechargeable battery;
- 5) a secondary battery contained within the electric vehicle;
- 6) an electromagnet selectively communicating with the secondary battery and adapted to disconnect the releasable electrical connector from the rechargeable battery when said electromagnet is not activated;
- and
- 7) wherein the rechargeable battery provides a charge to the secondary battery when the electromagnet is engaged.
An electric vehicle comprising:
- a) a rechargeable battery being a power source for the electric vehicle and contained within the electric vehicle, said rechargeable battery being electrically connected to the electric vehicle via a releasable electrical connector;
- b) a secondary battery contained within the electric vehicle;
- and,
- c) an electromagnet selectively powered by the secondary battery and configured to disconnect the releasable electrical connector from the rechargeable battery when said electromagnet is not electrically activated;
- d) an electromagnet selectively communicating with the secondary battery and adapted to disconnect the releasable electrical connector from the rechargeable battery when said electromagnet is not activated;
- and
- e) wherein the rechargeable battery provides a charge to the secondary battery when the electromagnet is engaged.
An electric vehicle comprising:
- a) a rechargeable battery providing power to the electric vehicle, said rechargeable battery being electrically connected to the electric vehicle via an electromagnet connector;
- and,
- b) a secondary battery contained within the electric vehicle to selectively activate the electromagnet connector for selective engagement of the rechargeable battery with the electric vehicle.
