There is described systems and methods for managing the temperature of a battery in an electric vehicle. The system comprises a fuel-operated heater configured to heat a heat transfer fluid and an electric heater configured to heat the heat transfer fluid. The system also comprises control system configured to selectively operate the fuel-operated heater or the electric heater. The system also comprises a thermally insulated battery enclosure configured to receive heated heat transfer fluid to heat the battery. The control system may be configured to automatically select operation of the electric heater or the fuel-operated heater based at least in part on the state of charge of the battery of the electric vehicle, the location of the electric vehicle, the temperature outside the electric vehicle and/or the temperature of the battery of the electric vehicle.
