Abstract
A vehicle battery charge management system includes multiple vehicle components each configured to implement a different operational feature of a vehicle, a battery system, and a vehicle control module. The vehicle control module is configured to obtain a state of charge of the battery system, receive a time period specified by user input, the time period indicative of a window of time where the vehicle will be in a parked state, disable at least one of the multiple vehicle components during the time period, and determine an estimated remaining mileage value according to the state of charge of the battery system, a remaining time in the time period, and a predicted energy consumption of each of the multiple vehicle components that are not disabled during the time period, the estimated remaining mileage value indicative of a driving mileage capacity of the vehicle at an expiration of the time period.
