Abstract
A vehicle includes a low-voltage battery electrically coupled to a powertrain, and a computer programmed to put the vehicle in a minimal risk condition in response to a state of charge of the low-voltage battery falling below a threshold. The vehicle may further include a DC/DC converter electrically coupled to the powertrain and to the low-voltage battery, and a high-voltage battery electrically coupled to the powertrain.
