Abstract:
1. An electric vehicle comprising: a traction battery having a battery temperature sensor; a cabin climate control system having a cabin temperature sensor; a thermal circuit connected to the traction battery and the cabin climate system, the thermal circuit having a thermal source and a thermal sink; a user interface; and a controller connected to the traction battery, the battery temperature sensor and the cabin temperature sensor, the thermal circuit, and the user interface, the controller configured to, in response to receiving a user input requesting vehicle conditioning from the user interface and receiving a predictive ambient temperature profile, and the traction battery being connected to an external power source, (i) charge the traction battery to a target state of charge provided by a charging profile based on the user input, (ii) condition the traction battery to a target battery temperature provided by the charging profile, and (iii) condition a cabin in the vehicle to a target cabin temperature provided by the charging profile, wherein the charging profile provides at least one scheduled time to begin charging the battery, conditioning the battery, and conditioning the cabin, and wherein the target battery temperature and target cabin temperature of the charging profile are further based on the predictive ambient temperature profile.
