Abstract
An operating point for a vehicle electric motor is selected to produce requested torque inefficiently, to generate additional heat to warm the battery. A torque command for operation of the vehicle at a desired speed and a heat power command for an amount of heat needed to warm a battery powering the vehicle electric motor are received by a motor controller. The motor controller determines an operating point of the vehicle electric motor that corresponds to both the requested torque and the amount of heat, and the vehicle electric motor is controlled based on the determined operating point.
