Abstract:
A system includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to determine an action for a vehicle based on an identified risk condition, to determine a minimum time for performing the action, and based on data including a vehicle battery state of charge, an outdoor temperature, and a vehicle mode of operation, to determine an available electrical power for performing the action. The instructions further include instructions to determine maximum permissible electrical energy discharge rate based on the minimum time for performing the action and the determined available electrical power, to determine a load control plan for a plurality of electrical devices in the vehicle based on the maximum permissible electrical energy discharge rate, an electrical load status of the vehicle, and load priority data; and to execute the determined load control plan.
