Systems and methods for maximizing energy storage on a vehicle with infrastructure limitations

A vehicle comprising:

• a battery;
• one or more fuel tanks;
• and
• a controller comprising a memory with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving data indicative of a location of a refueling station relative to a current location of the vehicle;
• receiving one or more operating conditions of the vehicle;
• and
• temporarily increasing an upper limit of a state of charge of the battery based on at least one of the one or more operating conditions of the vehicle.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by one or more processors, data indicative of a location of a refueling station relative to a current location of a vehicle;
• receiving, by the one or more processors, data indicative of a state of charge of a battery of the vehicle;
• receiving, by the one or more processors, data indicative of a fuel level of one or more fuel tanks of the vehicle;
• determining, by the one or more processors, an amount of energy to be utilized to arrive at the refueling station from the current location of the vehicle;
• based on the location of the refueling station, the state of charge of the battery, the fuel level of at least one of the one or more fuel tanks, and the determined amount of energy, selecting, by the one or more processors, at least one fuel tank of the one or more fuel tanks to precondition;
• preconditioning, by the one or more processors, the selected at least one fuel tank, wherein preconditioning the selected at least one fuel tank comprises:
• converting fuel from the selected at least one fuel tank from a first form of energy to a second form of energy;
• and
• communicating, by the one or more processors, instructions to replace the selected at least one fuel tank with a new fuel tank having a fuel level being at or above a predefined threshold level.
