Abstract: A vehicle includes a controller that sends a charge request defining a charge location to a charge donor vehicle for vehicle-to-vehicle charging, responsive to not detecting a charge cable that satisfies the charge request in the vehicle and the charge donor vehicle, sends a borrow request including the charge location to a charge cable donor vehicle, and responsive to confirmation from the charge donor vehicle and charge cable donor vehicle, directs the vehicle to drive to the charge location.

Abstract: A method includes controlling charging a battery pack of an electrified vehicle, via a control system of the electrified vehicle, based on climate conditions, traffic conditions, and learned driving habits of a driver of the electrified vehicle. The control system is configured to create a smart charging schedule for either adding or not adding an additional charge to the battery pack in anticipation of an expected upcoming drive cycle.

Abstract: A vehicle comprising includes a traction battery and a controller. The controller, responsive to an interval exceeding a predefined threshold and a predicted net loss in energy, charges the traction battery such that the traction battery acquires energy in an amount at least equal to the predicted net loss in energy. The interval defines a confidence level that a predicted net change in energy stored by the traction battery will occur as a result of use of the vehicle between a current charge location of the vehicle and a next charge location of the vehicle. The amount is based on the interval such that the amount increases as the interval decreases.

Abstract: A controller may, after receiving indication that an electric utility provider will reduce power supplied during an upcoming period of time, increase a cost of charge energy for vehicles that charge at a rate at least equal to a threshold rate during the upcoming period of time. The controller may also decrease the cost of charge energy for vehicles that avoid charging or charge at a rate less than the threshold rate during the upcoming period of time.

Abstract: A method for providing an electric vehicle charging recommendation is disclosed. The method may include obtaining information associated with a plurality of charging events for a vehicle. The information may include a plurality of vehicle geolocations associated with the plurality of charging events. The method may further include generating a plurality of charging geolocation clusters from the plurality of vehicle geolocations. The method may additionally include determining a charging event occurrence frequency for each charging geolocation cluster. Further, the method may include classifying the charging geolocation clusters into a primary charging station location and routine charging station locations. Furthermore, the method may include defining a virtual polygon connecting the primary charging station location and the routine charging station locations, and transmitting the electric vehicle charging recommendation to a server based on the defined virtual polygon.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling charging of multiple electric vehicles (EVs) arriving at, and departing from, different charging stations at different times, includes scheduling charging of each EV of the multiple EVs responsive to which one of a plurality of categories each EV is assigned, each EV being assigned to one of the categories according to an arrival time at an associated one of the different charging stations, a departure time from the associated one of the different charging stations, an initial state of charge (SoC) of the EV, and a target SoC of the EV, and controlling charging of each EV responsive to the scheduling of charging for the assigned category of each EV. Charging demand may be selected by each EV as being reliable or flexible with flexible charging demand having a minimum target SoC and maximum target SoC.

Abstract: A vehicle charging system includes a vehicle propelled by an electric machine powered by a chargeable energy storage system. The charging system also includes a controller programmed to predict at least one upcoming plug-in event based on historical charging data, and define a plug-in routine based on a plurality of upcoming plug-in events. The controller is also programmed to set a charging schedule to coincide with the plug-in routine such that a target state of charge (SOC) is achieved at a conclusion of each of the plurality of upcoming plug-in events. Each target SOC corresponding to a plug-in event is based on minimizing a charging energy cost of the plug-in routine and an expected energy depletion ahead of a next subsequent plug-in event.

Abstract: A method controlling a battery management system is provided. The method may include commanding by a controller a heat exchanger of a vehicle to pre-cool a traction battery of the vehicle key-off responsive to the vehicle being within a predetermined range of a predicted parking location, a current temperature of the traction battery being less than a temperature threshold, and a predicted parked temperature for the traction battery being greater than the temperature threshold.
