17. An apparatus comprising:
-
a plurality of electric vehicle movement components, where a first one of the components is configurable to operate in one of a plurality of operating power ranges; and a system allowing the first component to select one of the operating power ranges based, at least partially, upon information from a second different one of the electric vehicle movement components regarding power capabilities of the second component, where the system enables the first component to select the operating power range to improve energy use efficiency by the first component and/or the second component, where the second electric vehicle movement component is not a battery. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. An apparatus comprising:
-
a first electric vehicle movement component, where the first component is configured to operate in one of a plurality of power operational modes; and a second electric vehicle movement component connected to the first component, where the first movement component is configured to select one of the power operational modes based upon; a signal from the second component indicating identification of the second component, and/or a signal from the second component indicating operational capability of the second component, without any other signal from another device or another electric vehicle movement component, where the second electric vehicle movement component is not a battery.

24. A method comprising:
-
connecting a first electric vehicle movement component to a second different vehicle movement component; sending a signal from the second component to the first component, where the signal; identifies the second component to the first component, and/or indicates a power operational capability of the second component to the first component, and based, at least partially, on the signal from the second component, the first component selecting a power operational mode for the first component to operate to increase energy use efficiency by the first and second components, where the second electric vehicle movement component is not a battery.
