METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for operating an energy management system for a traction battery of a hybrid electric vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining whether a state of charge of the traction battery is below a predetermined charge level; and
when the state of charge is below the predetermined charge level, and when the energy management system identifies an intent of a driver to overtake another vehicle based on a first data set and identifies an unsafe overtaking condition based on a second data set, generating a charge request for charging the traction battery to at least the predetermined charge level.

12. An energy management system for a traction battery of a hybrid electric vehicle having a control unit, the system to direct the control unit to perform acts of:
-
determining when a state of charge of the traction battery is below a predetermined charge level; and generating a charge request for charging the traction battery to at least the predetermined charge level when an intent of a driver to overtake another vehicle based on a first data set is identified and an unsafe overtaking condition based on a second data set is identified.

13. An automobile including a hybrid electric vehicle, having a traction battery and an energy management system with a control unit, wherein the energy management system is configured to direct the control unit to perform acts of:
-
determining whether a state of charge of the traction battery is below a predetermined charge level; and when the state of charge is below the predetermined charge level, and when the energy management system identifies an intent of a driver to overtake another vehicle based on a first data set and identifies an unsafe overtaking condition based on a second data set, generating a charge request for charging the traction battery to at least the predetermined charge level.
