Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods for operating an energy management system for a traction battery of a hybrid electric vehicle. In one implementation, a method may include: determining whether a state of charge of the traction battery is below a predetermined charge level; when the state of charge is below the predetermined charge level, and when the energy management system identifies an intent of a driver to overtake another vehicle based on a first data set and identifies an unsafe overtaking condition based on a second data set, generating a charge request for charging the traction battery to at least the predetermined charge level.
