Abstract

A vehicle system for an electrified vehicle that implements a race preparation mode for preparing the electrified vehicle for a race event is provided. The vehicle system includes a motor, a battery system, an instrument panel cluster and a controller. The controller initiates the race preparation mode based on user selection of the race preparation mode. The controller determines whether a drag race mode is selected and determines whether a measured temperature of the battery system is below a warm temperature threshold. The temperature of the battery system is elevated based on the measured temperature being below the warm temperature threshold. The controller determines whether a track mode is selected and determines whether a measured temperature of the battery system is above a cold temperature threshold. The temperature of the battery system is reduced based on the measured temperature being above the cold temperature threshold.
