Abstract
Charging guidance systems and methods for charging electrified vehicles may be configured to influence a user's charging decisions in a manner that simplifies the vehicle charging experience. Exemplary charging guidance systems may be configured to coach the user to charge a traction battery pack of the vehicle at a lower level charging option as opposed to a higher level charging option. Charging at lower level charging options when certain conditions are met reduces the amount of times the vehicle is charged using more aggressive charging methodologies, thereby improving battery performance, reducing costs, and preserving the life/warranty and asset utilization of the traction battery pack over the entire usage life of electrified vehicles.
