Abstract
Methods and systems may provide for technology to predict a future increase in power demand on a fuel cell based on route data associated with a vehicle powered by the fuel cell and reduce an operating temperature of the fuel cell prior to the future increase in power demand. The technology may also provide supplemental power from a battery to the vehicle while the operating temperature of the fuel cell is being reduced.
