Abstract
A removable module and a method for operating the removable module. The removable module has a multipurpose connector that connect the removable module to a motor when the removable module is attached to a vehicle. Dual-purpose circuitry in the removable module can output electric energy to the motor when the multipurpose connector connects the removable module to the motor. The multipurpose connector can connect the removable module to the electric vehicle supply equipment when the removable module is detached from the vehicle. While the removable module is detached from the vehicle, the dual-purpose circuitry cannot output electric energy to the motor. When the multipurpose connector connects the removable module to the electric vehicle supply equipment, the dual-purpose circuitry can receive electric power from the electric vehicle supply equipment.
