Claim 6:
7. 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 portion of the route, one or more of:
a predicted amount of electrical power that can be generated 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; and
a predicted increase 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 from the e-axle to electrical power to charge the battery system.
