Dynamic management of charge

One or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of:

• obtaining an estimated readiness time for an energy storage element;
• obtaining a target state of charge for the energy storage element;
• calculating an estimated charging time based at least in part on a difference between the target state of charge and a current state of charge of the energy storage element;
• responsive to determining a time difference between the estimated readiness time and a first point in time is greater than the estimated charging time, using a first charging rate to charge the energy storage element to an intermediate state of charge;
• maintaining the energy storage element at the intermediate state of charge;
• and
• responsive to determining a time difference between the estimated readiness time and a second point in time is less than the estimated charging time, using a second charging rate to charge the energy storage element to the target state of charge, wherein the second point in time is after the first point in time, and wherein the second charging rate is greater than the first charging rate.
