A system is provided that includes at least one battery, motor electronics, and at least one vehicle controller. The at least one battery is positioned about a battery coolant loop that provides first coolant to change a temperature of the at least one battery. The motor electronics are positioned about a motor electronics coolant loop that provides second coolant to change a temperature of the motor electronics. The at least one vehicle controller is programmed to receive a first signal indicative of a temperature of the at least one battery positioned about the battery coolant loop and to control a valve to combine the battery coolant loop with the motor electronics coolant loop such that the second coolant flows to the battery coolant loop responsive to at least a temperature of the second coolant being greater than the temperature of the at least one battery and a first offset.

System and method for motor electronics waste heat recovery and determination

One or more controllers limit direct current output by electric vehicle supply equipment to charge a traction battery of a vehicle according to a filtered current squared capacity remaining of the traction battery, which may be defined for a window of time having a predefined duration and be based on an average current input to or output from the traction battery.

Current control during DC fast charging

This disclosure relates to an electrified vehicle configured to power limit a battery based on a thermal exchange capacity, and a corresponding method. In particular, an example electrified vehicle includes a battery, a thermal management system configured to circulate thermal exchange fluid relative to the battery, and a controller configured to power limit the battery based on a thermal exchange capacity of the thermal exchange fluid.
