Abstract
The invention relates to a method performed by a control unit (115) for handling charging in an at least partly electric vehicle (100). The control unit (115) transmits, to a charger (103), a request to provide power to at least one auxiliary load (108) and to charge a battery (101) with an amount of voltage. The amount of voltage corresponds to a desired SOC level. The charging of the battery (101) automatically stops when the desired SOC level is reached. The charger (103) continues to provide power to the at least one auxiliary load (108) when the desired SOC level is reached.
Claims12
A method performed by a control unit for handling charging in an at least partly electric vehicle, the method comprising:
- transmitting to a charger, a request to provide power to at least one auxiliary load and to charge a battery with an amount of voltage, wherein the amount of voltage corresponds to a desired State of Charge, SOC, level;
- wherein the charging of the battery automatically stops when the desired SOC level is reached, and
- wherein the charger continues to provide power to the at least one auxiliary load when the desired SOC level is reached.
