Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing a state of charge of a hybrid vehicle battery using an eCAT. Electrical energy is provided to a hybrid system for storage at the battery of the hybrid system. A first state of charge of the battery of the hybrid system is determined. Upon determining that the first state of charge is within a predetermined upper range, a determination is made as to whether to increase energy supplied to one or more hybrid vehicle components, the one or more hybrid vehicle components comprising at least the eCAT. At least a portion of the electrical energy is consumed at the eCAT.
