A thermal architecture of an electric vehicle includes a drivetrain system having a drivetrain, a cabin air system for providing conditioned air to an occupant compartment, a battery system having cooling components, and a refrigeration system for providing cooling to the cabin air system and the battery system. Control circuitry is configured to manage cooling or heating of components of the thermal architecture. For example, the control circuitry selects from among a mode for cooling a battery system and another mode for heating the battery system. In the heating mode, the control circuitry causes heat to be generated by the drive system, which may include one or more electric motors, and transferred to the battery system. The control circuitry receives a plurality of sensor signals from a sensor interface, generates one or more control signals, and cause valves and other components to achieve one or more cooling modes.
