Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes: receiving charging scheduling information including a scheduled vehicle departure time and a destination set by a user through an interface unit; determining whether a remaining time to the scheduled vehicle departure time from a current time has reached a set time; determining a required battery conditioning time required until a current battery temperature reaches a preset target temperature; determining a total estimated required time to arrival at the destination from the current time by reflecting real-time traffic information; and performing control of a thermal management system of the vehicle by adjusting the current battery temperature to the target temperature when the determined total estimated required time is less than the determined required battery conditioning time.
