Abstract: A traction battery assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes a traction battery, an electric machine, an electrical harness assembly, a protrusion adjacent the electrical harness assembly. The protrusion is configured to move from a first position to a second position in response to a loading event. When the protrusion is in the first position, the electric machine is electrically coupled to the traction battery through the electrical harness assembly. When the protrusion is in the second position, the electric machine is electrically decoupled from the traction battery.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection part, a plug, and a system consisting of the connection part and plug. The connection part comprises two busbars that at least partially overlap with their broad faces and of which at least one has an end portion with a reduced width. The connection part thus has good electrical and thermal conductivity while also having a compact design and flexible connection characteristics.

Abstract: A charging port for an electric vehicle includes a charging socket, a push rod actuator, and a push rod coupled to the push rod actuator. The charging socket is configured to receive a charging connector of a charger (e.g., a charging station, a wall charger, a portable charger, etc.). The push rod is configured to decouple the charging connector from the charging socket when the push rod is displaced from a retracted position to an extended position by the push rod actuator.

Abstract: An electrical connection system is described which includes a common carrier. The common carrier includes a main channel configured to retain a cable bundle and a plurality of side channels that facilitate coupling of at least some cables of the cable bundle to an electronic control unit (ECU). The side channels are configured to retain a connector carrier configured to carry a pair of connectors slidable in each side channel between a pre-staged position in preparation for mating and a mated position which mates terminals carried by the pair of connectors and locks the pair of connectors to the ECU.

Abstract: A motorcycle has a seat arrangement that can be entirely or at least partially detached from the motorcycle. The seat arrangement forms a sitting surface for a user and has an electrically operable device. In order to be supplied with electrical power, the electrically operable device is connected to a power transmission device which has a first line section which is associated with a vehicle structure and is coupled to a power source, and a second line section which is associated with the seat arrangement and is electrically conductively connected to the electrically operable device. The power transmission device is designed in such a way that, by way of arranging the seat arrangement in an operating position, the first line section and the second line section are positioned in a transmission position in relation to one another, which transmission position is designed for transmitting the electrical power.
