An electrified vehicle includes an electric power supply such as a battery or a DC power converter which may need to be cooled during a time when the vehicle is parked. A thermal transfer unit is coupled to the electric power supply. A cover sensor is configured to detect a cover disposed on the electric vehicle while being parked which impedes the thermal transfer unit, and a controller. When the cover is detected, the controller is configured to (A) determine a power supply temperature of the electric power supply, (B) compare the determined power supply temperature to a predetermined temperature threshold to detect an unfavorable condition, and (C) transmit an advisory signal to a user that the cover should be removed when the unfavorable condition is detected.
