SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING MULTIPLE VEHICLE CABIN HEAT SOURCES AND MULTIPLE CONTROLLERS

Systems and methods of controlling temperature in a cabin of an electric vehicle that has an HVAC system powered by a battery system and an auxiliary heating system. Upon determining, by a system controller, that a setpoint temperature is less than or equal to a sensed cabin temperature while operating in an HVAC electric heat state, an auxiliary heat state, or a maximum heat state, automatically transitioning to an off state from the HVAC electric heat state, the auxiliary heat state, or the maximum heat state.
