Abstract

A system is provided for performing a predicted cooling operation for an electric vehicle () using a processor (), and includes a vehicle monitoring unit () configured to monitor one or more vehicle characteristics related to the electric vehicle (). The one or more vehicle characteristics include look-ahead demand information of one or more components of the electric vehicle (). A cooling controller () is configured to communicate with the vehicle monitoring unit () and determine the look-ahead demand information based on at least one of: navigational information, thermal information, and environment information associated with the electric vehicle (). The cooling controller () is configured to generate a cooling command based on the look-ahead demand information and perform the predicted cooling operation based on the cooling command by over-cooling the one or more components of the electric vehicle ().
