Abstract
A vehicle is provided that includes a battery; a motor configured to rotate a wheel using electric power charged in the battery; and a communication device that performs communication with other vehicles and a terminal. A controller operates the communication device to transmit request information of a charging service when an amount of charge of the battery is equal to or less than a preset amount of charge and charges the battery based on electric power generated by the motor while using the charging service through one of the other vehicles.
Claims19
A vehicle, comprising:
- a battery;
- a motor configured to rotate a wheel using electric power charged in the battery and to generate electric power via regenerative braking;
- a coupling member configured to enable the vehicle to be physically towed by another vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- execute start-up when using a charging service, wherein using the charging service comprises the vehicle being physically towed by one of the other vehicles such that the wheels of the vehicle are rotated by a driving force of the one of the other vehicles;
- charge the battery based on electric power generated by the motor;
- and
- when executing the charging, charge the battery based on a reference regenerative torque;
- wherein the charging of the battery occurs without a supply of charging power from the one of the other vehicles.
A method for controlling a vehicle having a motor configured to rotate a wheel using electric power charged in the battery and to generate electric power via regenerative braking, a battery, and a coupling member configured to enable the vehicle to be physically towed by another vehicle, the method comprising:
- executing, by a controller, start-up when using a charging service, wherein the charging service comprises the vehicle being physically towed by one of the other vehicles such that the wheels of the vehicle are rotated by a driving force of the one of the other vehicles;
- charging, by the controller, the battery based on electric power generated by the motor;
- and
- when executing the charging, charge the battery based on a reference regenerative torque;
- wherein the charging of the battery occurs without a supply of charging power from the one of the other vehicles.
