Abstract
An electric vehicle system includes a delivery charger including a mounting assembly and an electrical energy source. The electrical energy source is configured to provide electricity to charge a battery of an electric vehicle. The mounting assembly is configured to facilitate releasably coupling the delivery charger (i) to a first interface of a chassis of the electric vehicle prior to a body assembly of the electric vehicle being installed onto the chassis and (ii) to a second interface of the body assembly when the body assembly is coupled to the chassis.

An electric vehicle system comprising:
- a delivery charger including:
- a mounting assembly;
- and
- an electrical energy source;
- wherein the electrical energy source is configured to provide electricity to charge a battery of an electric vehicle;
- and
- wherein the mounting assembly is configured to facilitate releasably coupling the delivery charger (i) to a first interface of a chassis of the electric vehicle prior to a body assembly of the electric vehicle being installed onto the chassis and (ii) to a second interface of the body assembly when the body assembly is coupled to the chassis.
An electric vehicle system comprising:
- a delivery charger releasably insertable into a body compartment of an electric vehicle, the delivery charger including:
- an electrical energy source;
- and
- a mounting assembly;
- wherein the electrical energy source is configured to provide electricity to charge a battery of the electric vehicle;
- and
- wherein the mounting assembly is configured engage with a mounting interface positioned along a floor of the body compartment to facilitate releasably coupling the delivery charger along the floor and inside of the body compartment.
An electric vehicle system comprising:
- a delivery charger including:
- an electrical energy source;
- and
- a mounting assembly configured to facilitate releasably coupling the delivery charger to a lift assembly of an electric refuse vehicle;
- wherein, with the lift assembly in a stowed position, the delivery charger is lifted and at least partially extends into a body assembly through a hopper inlet of the electric refuse vehicle;
- and
- wherein, with the lift assembly repositioned to a charge position, the delivery charger is removed from the body assembly and lowered towards the ground such that the delivery charger can be electrically connected to a charging port of the electric refuse vehicle.
