Management of a remote electric vehicle traction battery system

A method comprising:

• receiving a traction battery pack status report pertaining to an identified rechargeable traction battery pack system;
• retrieving a management criteria assigned to the identified rechargeable traction battery pack system from an asset database that includes at least two identified rechargeable traction battery pack systems and a management criteria respectively assigned to each identified rechargeable traction battery pack system;
• evaluating the fraction battery pack status report with respect to the management criteria assigned to the identified rechargeable traction battery pack system;
• issuing a management instruction responsive to the evaluation of the battery status report;
• and
• communicating the management instruction to the identified rechargeable traction battery pack system.

A system includes:

• means for receiving a traction battery pack status report pertaining to an identified rechargeable traction battery pack system;
• means for retrieving a management criteria assigned to an identified rechargeable traction battery pack system from an asset database that includes at least two identified rechargeable traction battery pack systems and a management criteria respectively assigned to each identified rechargeable traction battery pack system;
• means for evaluating the traction battery pack status report with respect to the management criteria assigned to the identified rechargeable fraction battery pack system;
• means for issuing a management instruction responsive to the evaluation of the battery status report;
• and
• means for communicating the management instruction to the identified rechargeable traction battery pack system.

A battery manager system comprising:

• an asset database that includes records related to at least two rechargeable battery pack systems configured to supply electric power to a vehicle and a management criteria respectively assigned to each rechargeable battery pack system;
• a compliance module configured to evaluate a battery pack status report pertaining to an identified rechargeable battery pack system of the at least two rechargeable battery pack systems (hereafter “the identified rechargeable battery pack system”), the evaluation with respect to the management criteria assigned to the identified rechargeable battery pack system;
• a manager module configured to generate a management instruction responsive to the evaluation of the battery status report;
• and
• a communication system configured to communicate with the identified rechargeable battery pack system.
