Predicting charging time for battery of electrified vehicle

1. An electrified vehicle, comprising:

an electric machine configured to provide rotational output power to drive the electrified vehicle;

a battery pack configured to output electrical power to the electric machine; and

a controller configured to predict a profile indicative of a charging rate of the battery pack, wherein the profile is predicted based on whether the battery pack is predicted to be charged based on at least one charging limit of the battery pack, wherein the controller is configured to use the profile to predict an amount of time remaining until the battery pack reaches a target state of charge,

wherein the profile includes a prediction that the battery pack will charge based on a first charging limit beginning at a first point in time and lasting for a first amount of time,

wherein the profile includes a prediction that the battery pack will charge based on a second charging limit beginning at a second point in time and lasting for a second amount of time,

wherein the second charging limit is of a different type than the first charging limit,

wherein the second amount of time is different than the first amount of time,

wherein the second point in time is after the first point in time.

3. The electrified vehicle as recited in claim 1 , wherein:

the first charging limit is a temperature limit, and

when a temperature of the battery pack is below a temperature threshold, the profile indicates that the battery pack will charge based on the temperature limit.

5. The electrified vehicle as recited in claim 1 , wherein:

the first charging limit is a short-term current limit, and

when the battery pack permits charging based on a short-term current limit, the profile indicates that the battery pack will charge based on the short-term current limit.

6. The electrified vehicle as recited in claim 5 , wherein, when the battery pack permits charging based on a plurality of short-term current limits, the profile indicates the battery pack will charge based on each of the short-term current limits.

7. The electrified vehicle as recited in claim 1 , wherein:

the first charging limit is a cell protection limit, and

when the controller predicts that an environmental condition or a condition of the battery pack will meet or exceed a cell protection threshold, the profile indicates that the battery pack will charge based on the cell protection limit.

8. The electrified vehicle as recited in claim 1 , wherein the profile indicates whether the battery pack is predicted to charge using constant current charging or constant voltage charging.

9. The electrified vehicle as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:

a charging port configured to couple to a plug, and

wherein the electrified vehicle is one of a battery electric vehicle and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.

10. The electrified vehicle as recited in claim 1 , wherein:

the profile includes a prediction that the battery pack will charge based on a third charging limit beginning at a third point in time and lasting for a third amount of time,

the third charging limit is of a different type than the first and second charging limits,

the third amount of time is different than the first and second amounts of time,

the third point in time is after the second point in time.

11. The electrified vehicle as recited in claim 10 , wherein the first, second, and third charging limits are each selected from the group consisting of a temperature limit, a short-term current limit, and a cell protection limit.

12. A method, comprising:

predicting a profile indicative of a charging rate of a battery pack, wherein the profile is predicted based on whether the battery pack is predicted to be charged based on at least one charging limit of the battery pack; and

using the profile to predict an amount of time remaining until the battery pack reaches a target state of charge,

wherein the profile includes a prediction that the battery pack will charge based on a first charging limit beginning at a first point in time and lasting for a first amount of time,

wherein the profile includes a prediction that the battery pack will charge based on a second charging limit beginning at a second point in time and lasting for a second amount of time,

wherein the second charging limit is of a different type than the first charging limit,

wherein the second amount of time is different than the first amount of time,

wherein the second point in time is after the first point in time.

13. The method as recited in claim 12 , wherein:

the first charging limit is a temperature limit, and

when a temperature of the battery pack is below a temperature threshold, the profile indicates the battery pack will charge based on the temperature limit for a period of time.

14. The method as recited in claim 12 , wherein:

the first charging limit is a short-term current limit, and

when the battery pack permits charging based on a short-term current limit, the profile indicates the battery pack will charge based on the short-term current limit.
