Techniques for controlling vehicle high voltage power consumption to avoid charge termination during charging at high state of charge and cold ambient conditions

A charging control method for an electrified vehicle, the charging control method comprising:

• detecting, by a controller of the electrified vehicle, a charging condition where a state of charge (SOC) of a high voltage battery system of the electrified vehicle exceeds an SOC threshold and an ambient temperature is less than an ambient temperature threshold;
• and
• in response to detecting the charging condition:
• controlling a thermal conditioning device of the electrified vehicle to thermally condition the high voltage battery system, wherein the thermal conditioning device is powered by a high voltage system of the electrified vehicle;
• controlling, by the controller, a charge current request for electrified vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) based on a load of the thermal conditioning device on the high voltage system;
• detecting, by the controller, a spike condition where an abrupt power-off of the thermal conditioning device causes the charge current request to the EVSE to exceed limits for the high voltage battery system;
• and
• in response to detecting the spike conditioning, temporarily decreasing, by the controller, the charge current request to the EVSE to prevent an overvoltage malfunction of the high voltage battery system.
