Abstract: A system is provided for performing a predicted cooling operation for an electric vehicle (102) using a processor (122), and includes a vehicle monitoring unit (128) configured to monitor one or more vehicle characteristics related to the electric vehicle (102). The one or more vehicle characteristics include look-ahead demand information of one or more components of the electric vehicle (102). A cooling controller (126) is configured to communicate with the vehicle monitoring unit (128) and determine the look-ahead demand information based on at least one of: navigational information, thermal information, and environment information associated with the electric vehicle (102). The cooling controller (126) is configured to generate a cooling command based on the look-ahead demand information and perform the predicted cooling operation based on the cooling command by over-cooling the one or more components of the electric vehicle (102).
