Apparatus for displaying battery charging of electric vehicle

An apparatus for displaying a charging state of said battery of an electric vehicle, comprising:

• a charging connector mounted in a cavity in an outer panel of a vehicle body of said electric vehicle;
• display means, mounted in said cavity in said outer panel near said charging connector, for selectively displaying at least one of said charging states of a period of time required until said battery is fully charged and a charged capacity of said battery;
• selecting means for selecting a display mode of said display means;
• and
• wherein said display means further comprises:
• means for selectively displaying at least one of said charging states of said period of time required until said battery is fully charged and said charged capacity of said battery based on a display mode selected by said selecting means wherein said charged capacity of said battery is displayed as a remaining capacity in a digital percentage representation;
• remaining capacity display unit energizable when said remaining capacity of said battery is displayed as a digital percentage;
• and
• remaining time display unit energizable when said period of time required until said battery is fully charged is displayed.

An apparatus for displaying a charging state of a battery of an electric vehicle, comprising:

• a charging connector mounted in a cavity in an outer panel of a vehicle body of said electric vehicle;
• a lid openably mounted on said outer panel of said electric vehicle in covering relation to said charging connector and said cavity defmed in said outer panel;
• and
• display means, disposed in said cavity, for displaying any one of said charging states of a period of time required until said battery is fully charged and a charged capacity of said battery, wherein said display means comprises:
• means for displaying any one of said period of time required until said battery is fully charged and said charged capacity of said battery in a digital percentage representation;
• and
• conditioning mode state display means for displaying a conditioning mode to any one of heat and cool said battery, wherein said conditioning mode state display means includes a conditioning mode state selector switch for cancelling anyone of a heating mode while said battery is being charged, a cooling mode after said battery is charged, and a temporary charging stop mode.
