Abstract
A vehicle includes an electric machine arranged to exchange power with a traction battery. The vehicle also includes a thermal conditioning system for influencing a battery temperature and a controller programmed to schedule battery charging. In response to a temperature of the traction battery exceeding a threshold, the controller issues a command to operate the thermal conditioning system prior to a scheduled battery charge to achieve a predetermined battery temperature at a start of battery charging.
