An electric power supply device includes-a first energy source having at least one battery and a second energy source having at least one fuel cell. The first and second energy sources supply energy to an electric motor of a motor vehicle in different proportions. A control module of the electric power supply device includes a memory that stores a value of a maximum operating power able to be supplied by the second energy source so that the second energy source is not asked to supply an amount greater than the stored maximum operating power. The maximum operating power value of the second energy source is dependent on a cooling capacity for the second energy source.

Device for powering an electric motor of a motor vehicle

An electrical power supply for a hybrid or electric motor vehicle includes a first power source to supply a voltage network of the vehicle, a second power source to supply the voltage network of the vehicle and/or to recharge the first power source, and a control module to control a safety structure of the first power source and of the second power source. The electrical power supply includes a metal casing containing the first power source, the second power source, the control module and the safety structure. The safety structure is common to the two power sources.
