Abstract

An apparatus structured to control an electric vehicle accessory of an electric vehicle during a charge event includes a controller communicatively coupled to a battery and an electric vehicle accessory. The controller is structured to determine that the battery of an electric vehicle is undergoing a charge event, and based on determining that the battery of the electric vehicle is undergoing the charge event, place the electric vehicle accessory in an on-state during the charge event, and cause the electric vehicle accessory to recharge by absorbing energy from the charging station during the charge event.
