摘要:
Methods, systems, and vehicles are provided that provide for thermal conditioning of a vehicle rechargeable energy storage system (RESS). A thermal conditioning system is coupled to the RESS, and is configured to thermally condition the RESS. A control system is coupled to the thermal conditioning system, and is configured to estimate a state of charge for the RESS and provide instructions for the thermal conditioning system to thermally conditioning the RESS based on the state of charge.
摘要:
Vehicle ownership impact evaluations are implemented by a host system having logic executable thereon. The logic calculates mileage indicative of a roundtrip for a commute received from a user. The logic also acquires terrain data for the commute from a database containing topological information. The logic uses the routing information, in conjunction with a timestamp associated with input from the user, to access a database containing climate information for a geography identified from the routing information, and determines an estimated climate for a time of year via the timestamp. The logic receives an identifier for a vehicle from the user, and retrieves specification data for the vehicle via the identifier. The logic further applies the specification data to the mileage, the estimated climate, the terrain data, and a base energy price, and calculates estimated costs for the commute in terms of energy consumed for the round trip by the vehicle.
