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.

Abstract: A non-contact power transmitting/receiving system calculates a loss Plo as a power difference between a transmitted power Ptr of a power transmission unit of a power transmission device and a received power Pre of a power receiving unit of a power receiving device. The non-contact power transmitting/receiving system sets a smaller value to a target transmitted power Ptr* when the calculated loss Plo is greater than a reference value Ploref, than a value when the calculated loss Plo is equal to or less than the reference value Ploref, and controls a high-frequency power circuit with the set target transmitted power Ptr*.

Abstract: A charging control unit determines whether the electric vehicles are coupled to the respective charging ports and calculates the estimate value Tc and the estimate value Tr for every charging port coupled. The estimate value Tc is the period from start of charging to completion of charging. The estimate value Tr is the period from completion of charging to departure. The charging control unit, when the electric vehicle coupled t last is set to the N-th vehicle and the electric vehicles already coupled are set to the first to N−1-th vehicles in the order of being coupled, and only when Formula (4) is satisfied by all the first to N−1-th vehicles, starts charging of the N-th vehicle. The charging control unit controls to resume charging of the vehicle that was charging immediately before the N-th vehicle started charging as soon as charging of the N-th vehicle finishes.
