GM patent: Dual charge ports could allow electric trucks a lot of energy flexibility

Harnessing the dual-layer packs' built-in ability to operate as two, in series or in parallel, electric trucks could charge on two ports at once, or use one for a load while charging on the other.

. The proposed setup could provide more flexibility in how those two layers are charged.

GM outlines that one charging port could be configured to charge at 800 volts or 400 volts, while the other port would be connected to the second layer of the pack and be limited to 400V. The system could connect them in series, charging both the upper and lower layers simultaneously at 800V using the first port only. Or it could charge both layers at 400 volts by connecting them in parallel.
