Abstract
A heat transfer system regulates the flow of a coolant or heating fluid to the battery of an electric vehicle (EV). Heat transfer systems may be located at charging facilities for charging EVs in an EV fleet. A fleet manager may direct an EV to a particular charging facility to appropriately cool or heat the EV battery during charging; different charging facilities may have different heating or cooling capabilities. The fleet manager may oversee operation of the heat transfer systems, e.g., pre-heating or pre-cooling a heat transfer fluid based on predicted demand.
