Abstract
A refuse vehicle includes a lift assembly configured to engage and lift a refuse receptacle, an electrical energy system configured to store power and supply power to the refuse vehicle, and a controller configured to determine an amount of power required to move the refuse vehicle to a charging location, measure one or more electrical attributes of the refuse vehicle to determine an amount of length of time the refuse vehicle can operate based on a remaining power of the electrical energy system, and limit operations of one or more components of the refuse vehicle based on a comparison of the amount of power required to move the refuse vehicle to the charging location and the amount of length of time the refuse vehicle can operate.
