Abstract

A method for managing a state of charge (SOC) of an energy store of a vehicle comprising storing an encoding of a dynamic weight value, computationally determining an estimated travel time to a stopover location, using the estimated travel time to modify the dynamic weight value to provide an updated dynamic weight value, and responsive to providing the updated dynamic weight value, increasing the SOC of the energy store while the vehicle travels over a roadway to provide a target SoC of the energy store when the vehicle arrives at the stopover location.
