Thermally managed storage system for a vehicle

A method of operating a thermally managed storage system for a vehicle, the method comprising:

• unfolding, from a first wall coupled with a compartment of the vehicle, a plurality of second walls to define a space between the first wall and the plurality of second walls;
• extending a casing coupled with the first wall across the space to expand an interior of the casing in the space;
• coupling the casing with a securing mechanism disposed with at least one of the plurality of second walls to hold the casing in an extended position;
• adjusting, via a climate control system of the vehicle, a climate of the interior, the climate control system including a fluid connection with the interior at the first wall;
• and
• housing, in a folded position of the plurality of second walls, the plurality of second walls and the casing with the first wall via a concealment partition extending from a periphery of the first wall.

A thermally managed storage system for a vehicle, comprising:

• a partition structure coupled with and expandable in a compartment of the vehicle, the partition structure including a first wall fixed with the compartment and a plurality of second walls each moveable between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the plurality of second walls forms a space between the first wall and the plurality of second walls in the extended position;
• and
• a casing disposed in the compartment and selectively coupling with a climate control system of the vehicle via a fluid connection with the compartment;
• and
• a concealment partition extending from a periphery of the first wall to conceal outer edges of the plurality of second walls.
