  • Patent number: 11840155
    Abstract: A method of controlling battery preconditioning in a vehicle includes determining a first preconditioning characteristic of a first battery of a first vehicle relative to a charging station. The method further includes transmitting the first preconditioning characteristic. The method further includes receiving, from a second vehicle, a second preconditioning characteristic of a second battery relative to the charging station. The method further includes comparing the first preconditioning characteristic and the second preconditioning characteristic to determine a preconditioning ranking for the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The method further includes determining a queue of the first and second vehicles for the charging station using the preconditioning ranking of the first and second vehicles.
