Claim 7:
8. The method of claim 1, wherein:
calculating the predicted end SOC of the battery system comprises:
determining a vehicle weight;
determining a grade of the portion of the route; and
calculating, based on the vehicle weight and the grade of the portion of the route, one or more of:
a predicted change in a SOC of the battery system when the e-axle is in the down position and the motor/generator is operating as a motor to convert electrical power to rotational power;
a predicted change in a SOC of the battery system when the e-axle is in the down position and the motor/generator is operating as a generator to convert rotational power from the e-axle to electrical power to charge the battery system;
a predicted change in temperature of the battery system when the e-axle is in the down position and the motor/generator is operating as a generator to convert rotational power to electrical power;
a predicted change in temperature of the battery system when the e-axle is in the down position and the motor/generator is operating as a motor to convert electrical power to rotational power; and
a predicted change in temperature of the battery system when the e-axle is in the up position and the motor/generator is operating as a generator to convert rotational power from the engine to electrical power.
