Abstract
Techniques are directed to charging a battery of a utility vehicle. Such techniques involve receiving a geolocation signal which identifies a current location of the utility vehicle. Such techniques further involve generating a geolocation assessment result indicating whether the utility vehicle is currently within an early charge termination geographic area based on the geolocation signal. Such techniques further involve charging the battery in accordance with the geolocation assessment result, the battery being charged to a first charge threshold when the geolocation assessment result indicates that the utility vehicle is currently not within the early charge termination geographic area, and the battery being charged to a second charge threshold when the geolocation assessment result indicates that the utility vehicle is currently within the early charge termination geographic area. The second charge threshold is different from the first charge threshold.
