Systems and methods provide for battery conditioning for high voltage (HV) electrical vehicles. Battery temperatures are monitored, and responsive to one or more battery temperatures falling within designated ranges, one or more battery temperatures may be increased via heating in order to provide for more uniform battery performance and conditioning.

The present disclosure provides a method for torque management in a multi-motor electric vehicle. The method may include receiving a total torque request value from a vehicle control module (VCM), determining a first torque split value associated with a first motor and a second torque split value associated with a second motor, the sum of the first torque split value and the second torque split value being equal to the total torque request value, monitoring a thermal parameter of at least one of the first motor or the second motor, and adjusting the first torque split value and the second torque split value in response to the thermal parameter exceeding a threshold.

Connection and control concepts for battery packs in a high voltage battery assembly are provided. Parallel, modular configurations permit improved safety, voltage balancing, and redundancy, improving operation and reliability of an associated high voltage electrical vehicle such as a heavy-duty truck.
