Estimating the term…
An electric vehicle has a thermal circuit connected to a traction battery and a cabin climate system, a user interface, and a controller. The controller is configured to charge the traction battery to a target state of charge, condition the traction battery to a target battery temperature, and condition a vehicle cabin to a target cabin temperature based on a charging profile based on the user input in response to receiving a user input requesting vehicle conditioning from the user interface and the traction battery being connected to an external power source. A method for controlling an electric vehicle while connected to an external power source includes charging a traction battery to a target state of charge and conditioning the battery to a target temperature according to a charging profile based on a user initiated request for vehicle conditioning.
An electric vehicle comprising:
A method for controlling an electric vehicle while connected to an external power source, the method comprising, charging a traction battery to a target state of charge and conditioning the battery to a target battery temperature, according to a charging profile based on a user initiated request for vehicle conditioning.
