Abstract

See full text

A system for charging a battery pack of an electric vehicle comprises a heater for pre-heating the battery pack so that the battery pack is able to accept a charge from a charger. The battery pack is selectively de-coupled from the system during the pre-heating. When the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the heater is selectively de-coupled from the system and the charger is coupled to the system to charge the battery. Advantageously, the battery pack is protected during pre-heating.
