Abstract
Methods and systems for electric vehicles, such as battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), include preemptively cooling a traction battery of the vehicle when a DC Fast Charge (DCFC) event is expected. The expected DCFC event is predicted during a drive cycle and prior to arrival at a DCFC station, based on drive history data of the vehicle or battery state of charge. Preemptive cooling is inhibited if the expected DCFC event can be completed in an amount of time less than a predefined amount of time.
