Optimizing a temperature profile in a thermal management system of an electric vehicle

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• representing a battery cell as a plurality of individual battery cells such that each representation of the individual battery cells can be simulated individually;
• for each of the individual battery cells, calculating one or more simulated responses during a charge cycle based at least in part on one or more values indicative of a charge rate;
• determining an optimal input temperature profile for the charge rate that minimizes differences between simulated responses for each of the plurality of individual battery cells;
• and
• providing the optimal input temperature profile for control of a temperature management system that monitors and controls a temperature of the battery cell.
