Publication number: 20250135833Abstract: A vehicle system for an electrified vehicle that implements a race preparation mode for preparing the electrified vehicle for a race event is provided. The vehicle system includes a motor, a battery system, an instrument panel cluster and a controller. The controller initiates the race preparation mode based on user selection of the race preparation mode. The controller determines whether a drag race mode is selected and determines whether a measured temperature of the battery system is below a warm temperature threshold. The temperature of the battery system is elevated based on the measured temperature being below the warm temperature threshold. The controller determines whether a track mode is selected and determines whether a measured temperature of the battery system is above a cold temperature threshold. The temperature of the battery system is reduced based on the measured temperature being above the cold temperature threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: Paul E. Rodriguez, Jeremy J. Anker, Sean King, Dean Baker, Jon Strunk, Allison Singer, Jason Trombley, David Carr, Haley Lee, Kanishk Bakshi, Mark Platt, Brian Driscoll, Joe Nissen
