A computer-implemented method of controlling a power assembly of a vehicle comprising a plurality of fuel cell systems and an electric energy storage system. The method comprises estimating a duration of a vehicle stopover of the vehicle; determining whether a freeze protection is required during the vehicle stopover; and, if it is determined that the freeze protection is not required, shutting down the fuel cell system without enabling the freeze protection. If it is determined that the freeze protection is required, the method may comprise estimating a threshold time indicating a time at which a cost of keeping the fuel cell systems operational outweighs a cost of shutting down the fuel cell systems; and if the estimated duration of the vehicle stopover expires after the threshold time, shutting down the fuel cell systems and enabling the freeze protection.
