COLD WEATHER SMART BATTERY HEATING AND CHARGING STRATEGY UTILIZING MULTI-STAGE BATTERY HEATING CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18076947 titled 'COLD WEATHER SMART BATTERY HEATING AND CHARGING STRATEGY UTILIZING MULTI-STAGE BATTERY HEATING CONTROL
The abstract describes systems and methods for preheating a battery heater of an electric vehicle (EV) based on the ambient temperature of the battery.
- The method involves determining the estimated vehicle start time and the ambient temperature of the battery.
- If the ambient temperature is below -5°C, a level 1 heating function is performed.
- If the ambient temperature is between -5°C and 5°C, a level 2 heating function is carried out.
- If the ambient temperature is between 5°C and 10°C, a level 3 heating function is activated.

Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for preheating a battery heater of an electric vehicle (EV) are provided. The method may comprise determining an estimated vehicle start time for the EV, determining whether an ambient temperature of a battery is less than −5° C., when the ambient temperature of the battery is less than −5° C., performing a level 1 heating function, when the ambient temperature of the battery is not less than −5° C., determining whether the ambient temperature of the battery is between −5° C. and 5° C., when the ambient temperature of the battery is between −5° C. and 5° C., performing a level 2 heating function, when the ambient temperature of the battery is above −5° C. and not between −5° C. and 5° C., then, determining whether the ambient temperature of the battery is between 5° C. and 10° C., and when the ambient temperature of the battery is between 5° C. and 10° C., performing a level 3 heating function.
