Classification: CPC G  B  Y | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a vehicle comprising an energy source having a low-voltage battery and a high-voltage battery, the vehicle comprising a controller having a processor and a memory for storing executable instructions, the processor being configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to:
determine for each of the low-voltage battery and the high-voltage battery of the vehicle at a first point in time:
an initial state of charge (SOC);
a state of health (SOH);
energy transfer rates; and
self-discharge rates;
determine one or more boundary conditions for the vehicle at the first point in time and a second point in time, the one or more boundary conditions causing a loss in the energy source during a time frame extending between the first point in time and the second point, in time, the one or more boundary conditions comprising at least a current ambient temperature at the first point in time and an estimated ambient temperature at the second point in time; and
predict a range for the vehicle, at the second point in time using the one or more boundary conditions, the initial SOC, the SOH, the energy transfer rates, and the self-discharge rates.
