Customizable electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) systems may be utilized for charging electrified vehicles. Exemplary EVSE systems may include a charging cord assembly having a cable that includes an outer sheath and a lighting module housed within the outer sheath. The lighting module may be controlled to emit lighting effects for providing visual indications of various electrified vehicle charging statuses. Settings associated with the lighting effects may be customized within a human machine interface (HMI) of the EVSE system.

Customizable electric vehicle supply equipment systems

Methods and systems for supplying electrical power from a vehicle to an external accessory are described. In one example, two different voltages may be applied at different times to a connector so that the external accessory device need not include a battery. In particular, a first voltage may power a main load of the external accessory and a second voltage may power a microcontroller that communicates with the vehicle.

Vehicle electric power take-off

A vehicle includes a vehicle subsystem, a user interface, and a controller. The user interface is configured to display a plurality of selectable vehicle models. The controller is programmed to, in response to a selection of a particular vehicle model, adjust a parameter of the subsystem to emulate a corresponding subsystem parameter of the particular vehicle model.
