TRIP PLANNING TECHNIQUES FACILITATING OPTIMAL DRIVING AND CHARGING DURING LONG JOURNEYS FOR ELECTRIFIED VEHICLES

A trip optimization system for a trip of an electrified vehicle from a start point to an end point includes a control system configured to determine a first optimized trip plan based on at least an initial state of charge (SOC) of a high voltage battery system of the electrified vehicle, wherein the first optimized trip plan specifies a set of stops at respective set of charging stations to recharge the high voltage battery system and, during the trip of the electrified vehicle, selectively reoptimize the first optimized trip plan based on at least one of a change in a current position of the electrified vehicle and a change in environmental conditions to obtain a second optimized trip plan, and a driver interface configured to output information to a driver of the electrified vehicle relating to the first and second optimized trip plans.
