Abstract
The control system is configured to execute warm-up control that operates the first heat generator and the second heat generator when a charging connector extending from an external power source is coupled to a charging inlet and the temperature of an energy storage pack falls below a threshold. The control system is configured to, upon executing the warm-up control, calculate an acceptable power of the energy storage pack, control the first heat generator based on a first target power consumption that is equal to or lower than the acceptable power, and control the second heat generator based on a second target power consumption that is equal to or lower than the acceptable power.
Claims5
An electrified vehicle comprising:
- a charging inlet provided on a vehicle body;
- a first current path configured to be coupled to the charging inlet;
- a second current path configured to be coupled to the first current path;
- a third current path configured to be coupled to the first current path;
- an energy storage pack configured to be coupled to the second current path;
- a first heat generator configured to be coupled to the third current path and to supply heat to the energy storage pack;
- a second heat generator configured to be coupled to the third current path and to supply heat to the energy storage pack;
- and
- a control system comprising a processor and a memory that are communicatively coupled to each other, wherein:
- the control system is configured to execute warm-up control that operates the first heat generator and the second heat generator when a charging connector extending from an external power source is coupled to the charging inlet and a temperature of the energy storage pack falls below a threshold;
- and
- the control system is configured to, upon executing the warm-up control, calculate an acceptable power of the energy storage pack, control the first heat generator based on a first target power consumption that is equal to or lower than the acceptable power, and control the second heat generator based on a second target power consumption that is equal to or lower than the acceptable power.
