Abstract
Methods and systems for cooling an electric energy storage device are described. In one example, a temperature set point of a cooling system is reduced before a vehicle reaches a location along a travel route where load on the electric energy storage device is expected to be greater than a threshold load. By lowering the temperature set point, it may be possible to maintain a temperature of the electric energy storage device below a threshold temperature.
