Intelligent vehicle systems and control logic for battery charge control and information display

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors of a vehicle controller of a vehicle, the vehicle including a rechargeable vehicle battery, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, causing the vehicle controller to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a location detection device, vehicle location data indicative of a real-time vehicle location of the vehicle;
• determining if the real-time vehicle location is within a virtual geofence delineating a predefined geographic area;
• receiving, from a location sensing device in response to the real-time vehicle location being within the virtual geofence, user location data indicative of a real-time user location of an authenticated user of the vehicle;
• determining if the real-time user location is within a predefined proximity to the real-time vehicle location;
• determining, in response to the real-time user location being within the predefined proximity to the real-time vehicle location, whether the vehicle battery is charging correctly or incorrectly;
• transmitting, responsive to the vehicle battery charging incorrectly, a notification to the authenticated user including a warning the vehicle battery is not charging correctly and a prompt to take a corrective action;
• determining, using a predictive model, a battery impact decision including predicting if the authenticated user will depart in the vehicle within a predetermined window of time and identifying driving conditions determined to measurably impact battery performance of the vehicle battery;
• and
• transmitting, to a resident vehicle subsystem of the vehicle responsive to the vehicle battery charging correctly, a command signal to execute a control operation related to the charging of the vehicle battery.

A motor vehicle, comprising:

• a vehicle body;
• a plurality of road wheels attached to the vehicle body;
• a traction motor attached to the vehicle body and operable to drive one or more of the road wheels to thereby propel the motor vehicle;
• a rechargeable battery pack attached to the vehicle body and electrically connected to the traction motor to supply electrical power thereto;
• and
• a vehicle controller programmed to:
• receive vehicle location data from a location detection device indicating a real-time vehicle location of the motor vehicle;
• determine if the real-time vehicle location is within a virtual geofence delineating a predefined geographic area;
• in response to the real-time vehicle location being within the virtual geofence, receive user location data from a location sensing device indicating a real-time user location of an authenticated user of the motor vehicle;
• determine if the real-time user location is within a predefined proximity to the real-time vehicle location;
• in response to the real-time user location being within the predefined proximity to the real-time vehicle location, determine whether the rechargeable battery pack is charging correctly or incorrectly;
• in response to the vehicle battery charging incorrectly, transmit a notification to the authenticated user including a warning the vehicle battery is not charging correctly and a prompt to take a corrective action;
• determine, using a predictive model, a battery impact decision including predicting if the authenticated user will depart in the vehicle within a predetermined window of time and identifying driving conditions determined to measurably impact battery performance of the vehicle battery;
• and
• in response to the vehicle battery charging correctly, transmit a command signal to a resident vehicle subsystem to execute a control operation related to the charging of the rechargeable battery pack.
