Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for monitoring high voltage (HV) exposure hours of a HV system in an electric vehicle (EV). Projected HV exposure hours is generated at one of a future vehicle age and a future EV mileage and is based on current HV exposure hours and historical HV exposure hours. The current HV exposure hours and the historical HV exposure hours are based on use of the battery system to supply power to vehicle propulsion loads and the at least one of offboard vehicle loads and onboard accessory loads. When the projected HV exposure hours is greater than a HV exposure hour threshold, a HV exposure hour alert associated with limitations in connection with the use of the battery system to supply power to the at least one of the offboard vehicle loads and the onboard accessory loads is generated for display on a display device.

Abstract: A method of controlling a ground vehicle includes providing the vehicle with a first sensor configured to detect a vehicle position, a second sensor configured to detect a driven path of the vehicle, and a controller. The method also includes obtaining, via the first sensor, a plurality of vehicle position coordinates during a time interval of a drive cycle, and calculating, via the controller, a first path curvature parameter based on the plurality of vehicle position coordinates. The method additionally includes obtaining, via the second sensor, a second path curvature parameter based on the driven path during the time interval. The method further includes comparing, via the controller, the first path curvature parameter to the second path curvature parameter, and in response to a difference between the second path curvature and the first path curvature exceeding a threshold, automatically operating the controller according to a diagnostic mode.

Abstract: A vehicle including an energy storage device and a powertrain system configured to effect regenerative braking is described. A method for controlling the vehicle includes determining an expected increase in a state of charge of the energy storage device achieved through opportunity charging by employing regenerative braking during an anticipated next trip of the vehicle. A preferred setpoint for the state of charge of the energy storage device is determined based upon the expected increase in the state of charge achieved through opportunity charging, and charging of the energy storage device is controlled during a remote charging event based upon the preferred setpoint for the state of charge of the energy storage device.

Abstract: A method for controlling a hybrid vehicle includes the following: (a) receiving route data regarding a desired trip; (b) determining a load distribution along the desired trip based on the route data; (c) determining a load threshold based on the load distribution along the desired trip; (d) determining a charge depleting operating threshold based on a state of charge of the energy storage device; (e) commanding the powertrain to shift from a charge-depleting mode to a charge-sustaining mode when a load of the hybrid vehicle is equal to or greater than the load threshold; and (f) commanding the powertrain to shift from the charge-sustaining mode to the charge-depleting mode when the hybrid vehicle has traveled a distance that is greater than or equal to the charge-depleting operating threshold since the powertrain shifted from the charge-depleting mode to the charge-sustaining mode.
