Classification: CPC B  Y | IPC B

Claim 12:
13. A method of controlling a vehicle operable in a selected one of at least a first and a second driving mode, the vehicle comprising:
a powertrain comprising an electric machine for providing motive power;
a cooling system; and
an electrical energy storage device for powering the electric machine,
wherein the cooling system is configured to cool the electrical energy storage device and a cabin of the vehicle,
the method comprising:
receiving information indicative of a temperature of an energy storage device of the vehicle; and
generating at a processor a control signal in dependence on the information indicative of temperature of the energy storage device and the selected driving mode of the vehicle,
whereby
when the vehicle is in the first driving mode, generating the control signal to limit or reduce an amount of power drawn from the electrical energy storage device by the powertrain in dependence on the information indicative of temperature of the energy storage device; and
when the vehicle is in the second driving mode, generating the control signal to control a proportion of the cooling power of the cooling system that is available to cool the electrical energy storage device relative to the cabin of the vehicle in dependence on the information indicative of temperature of the electrical energy storage device.
