Abstract:
Systems and methods for mitigating a thermal impact on a vehicle cabin caused by a battery thermal-management system, include determining a status of vehicle climate control system; determining whether a battery thermal-management system of the vehicle is operating above a determined threshold; and if the vehicle climate control system is active and the battery thermal-management system of the vehicle is operating above the determined threshold, adjusting at least one of a plurality of cabin temperature control parameters to mitigate a thermal impact of the battery thermal-management system on a rear portion of the vehicle cabin.
