Abstract

Systems and methods of providing traction assistance in a vehicle are disclosed that include determining whether a slip condition exists on a route of the vehicle based on vehicle data, external data, or a combination thereof, determining an electric drive powertrain configuration that includes a minimum state of charge (SoC) for a battery system of the vehicle based on the slip condition, and communicating the electric drive powertrain configuration to an electric drive powertrain controller, which operates the electric drive powertrain in accordance with the electric drive powertrain configuration to provide the minimum SoC to the battery system prior to the vehicle travelling over a portion of the route where the slip condition exists.
