Abstract
A system for thermally conditioning a battery pack of an electric vehicle includes at least one battery pack mounted within the electric vehicle having at least one cell; circuitry in that determines a battery total charge of the at least one battery pack, a thermal conditioning system in thermal communication with the at least one battery pack system configured to heat or cool the at least one cell of the at least one battery pack, a vehicle positioning system in communication configured to determine a location of the electric vehicle, and a map database. The circuitry is configured to determine when the battery total charge of the at least one battery pack should be charged, determine, when the electric vehicle is traveling, a travel time between the electric vehicle and the one or more charging stations, and instruct the thermal conditioning system to thermally condition the at least one battery pack based on the travel time to reduce the time needed to charge the at least one battery pack.
