ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE RANGE ESTIMATION

A range estimation system for an electrified vehicle having a high voltage (HV) battery system includes a controller. The controller is configured to determine an initial estimated vehicle electric range based on data from a previous drive cycle, receive data from the HV battery system indicating status information of the HV battery system utilized to estimate a vehicle electric range, and determine if a power limitation is requested by the HV battery system. The controller further configured to determine if the initial estimated vehicle electric range is less than a predefined critical drivable threshold, and determine if the received data from the HV battery system is valid data or invalid data for the electric range calculation. An updated estimated vehicle electric range is then determined based on the received data, the power limitation request, and the validity of the received data from the HV battery system.
