Abstract
There is provided a battery cooling control system capable of efficiently and effectively controlling the cooling of a battery. While an electric powered vehicle travels and/or stops, it is determined whether or not there is an indication of a battery being charged, and if it has been determined that there is the indication of charging being performed, it is determined whether or not there is a necessity for cooling the battery, and if it has been determined that there is the necessity for cooling the battery, the battery is cooled to a predetermined value during traveling. In addition, based on at least a state of charge of the battery and/or a driving range, it is determined whether or not there is an indication of charging being executed, and based on a real-time battery temperature, an increase in battery temperature caused by charging, and an upper limit value for a predetermined allowable battery temperature range, it is determined whether or not there is a necessity for cooling the battery.
