Abstract

A vehicle includes an energy storage configured to store electric energy for at least propulsion of the vehicle, an energy storage thermal system configured to provide thermal conditioning of the energy storage, and a coupling configured to receive thermal conditioning of the energy storage from a thermal system external to the vehicle. The coupling provides thermal conditioning of the energy storage while charging when available from the thermal system external to the vehicle. The energy storage thermal system provides thermal conditioning of the energy storage while charging when the thermal system external to the vehicle is not available.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vehicle comprising:
 an energy storage configured to store electric energy for at least propulsion of the vehicle;   an energy storage thermal system configured to provide thermal conditioning of the energy storage; and   a coupling configured to receive thermal conditioning of the energy storage from a thermal system external to the vehicle,   wherein the coupling provides thermal conditioning of the energy storage while charging when available from the thermal system external to the vehicle; and   wherein the energy storage thermal system provides thermal conditioning of the energy storage while charging when the thermal system external to the vehicle is not available.
