Systems and methods may predict vehicle charging events and prepare electrified vehicles for charging. Learned charging habits such as typical charging locations, charging times, and battery level when charging occurs may be leveraged for predicting when a user is likely to charge their electrified vehicle. A contactor system of the electrified vehicle may be controlled to maintain a set of contactors of the contactor system in a closed position upon vehicle shutdown in response to predicting that the charging event is likely. Maintaining the set of contactors closed when charging events are expected reduces contactor wear and decreases noise, vibration, and harshness, thereby facilitating a more satisfying user charging experience.
