Abstract: Vehicles that are capable of connecting to the AC grid are described that comprise a prime mover and at least one motor generator. In one embodiment, a vehicle may be constructed as a plug-in hybrid system and using the powertrain under controller instruction to either place power on an AC power line (to service AC grids) or to draw power from the AC power line to add electrical energy to the batteries on the vehicle. In some aspects, vehicles may test whether the power needed to service the AC power line may be satisfied by the on-vehicle batteries or, if not, whether and how much power to extract from the prime mover. In some aspects, vehicles may have a thermal management system on board to dynamically supply desired heat dissipation for the powertrain, if the powertrain is using the prime mover to supply power to the AC grid.

The present invention benefits the user because one modular DC converter assembly now can be detachably coupled to a variety of modular base housing assemblies. The modular base housing assemblies have a variety of shapes to fit the uniquely shaped ports in each brand of electric golf car or electric utility vehicle.A modular electric power supply adapter device plugs into a charging receptacle or IQ port of an electric golf car or electric utility vehicle, and is used to power an electronic apparatus. The main components consist of input electric connectors positioned in a modular base housing assembly adapted to fit a charging receptacle or IQ port of an electric golf car or electric utility vehicle, output and input transfer electric connectors, a DC converter module, and an electrical output fitting adapted to receive an electrical connection such as, but not limited to, a USB, to transmit the DC output power from the DC converter module to the electronic apparatus. The modular DC converter assembly detachably couples to a modular base housing assembly.
