A removable electronic control for an electric vehicle can monitor the vehicle’s battery voltage, current and historical charging data, and has a means of communication such as GPRS. The control can communicate battery data to a computer or mobile device and can also send geographical positional data relating to the vehicle. The removable control may be carried by a person and used to track that person and may have a switch to request help. The control may have various features including: sending warnings if the battery voltage falls below a threshold; storing accumulated values of running times of the vehicle; identifying and reporting malfunctioning battery chargers; sending emergency messages; emitting an audio or visual alarm to alert a user that an emergency message has been received; a tilt device to detect if a vehicle has fallen over; detecting unauthorised disconnection of the control. The unit may consist of an enclosure 1, with mounting brackets 2, warning lights 3 and call switch 16.
