Goal-based electric vehicle charging

A controller including a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when processed by one or more processors of the controller, implement a method in a vehicle, the method comprising:

• storing driving history and charging history of the vehicle;
• obtaining a predicted battery life of one or more battery packs of the vehicle based on the driving history and the charging history;
• obtaining a targeted battery life of a user indicating a mileage goal for a specific charge capacity of the one or more battery packs;
• determining a difference between the predicted battery life and the targeted battery life;
• solving an optimization problem to determine a future charging strategy to achieve the targeted battery life;
• and
• controlling an onboard charging system or an external charger based on the future charging strategy or controlling routing or navigation based on the future charging strategy.
