Methods and systems for power level adjustment

A system, comprising:

• a vehicle including a traction battery and an electric motor;
• and
• a controller comprising instructions stored in memory that cause the controller to:
• in response to the vehicle being located at a track:
• set a power output strategy based on one or more user inputs, wherein the one or more user inputs specify a number of desired laps, a number of laps desired with a highest power output, a time between laps, and a charge rate and time;
• update a user profile to include the power output strategy, wherein the user profile is in an application executed via a processor including instructions stored in memory, and wherein the controller is wirelessly coupled to the processor;
• and
• implement the power output strategy to regulate consumption of electrical energy stored in the traction battery while the vehicle is operated for one or more laps at the track.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a plurality of power output strategies from a plurality of vehicles driving at tracks at a central server of a wireless network;
• correlating each power output strategy via a processor of the central server to a respective user profile stored in a database;
• customizing a power output strategy for a vehicle at a track, the vehicle including a controller wirelessly coupled to the central server, wherein the power output strategy is customized based on a plurality of inputs provided by a user to the central server via an application, the plurality of inputs specifying a number of desired laps, a number of laps desired with a highest power output, a time between laps, and a charge rate and time;
• storing the customized power output strategy in a user profile of the user at the central server;
• and
• implementing the customized power output strategy via the controller of the vehicle to regulate consumption of electrical energy stored in a traction battery of the vehicle while the vehicle is operated for one or more laps at the track, the implementing including controlling a maximum allowed discharge rate of the traction battery and/or controlling a maximum allowed current over time delivered to an electric motor of the vehicle.
