Claim 13:
14. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors of a vehicle controller of a vehicle, the vehicle including a rechargeable vehicle battery, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, causing the vehicle controller to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a location detection device, vehicle location data indicative of a real-time vehicle location of the vehicle;
determining if the real-time vehicle location is within a virtual geofence delineating a predefined geographic area;
receiving, from a location sensing device in response to the real-time vehicle location being within the virtual geofence, user location data indicative of a real-time user location of an authenticated user of the vehicle;
determining if the real-time user location is within a predefined proximity to the real-time vehicle location;
determining, in response to the real-time user location being within the predefined proximity to the real-time vehicle location, whether the vehicle battery is charging correctly or incorrectly;
transmitting, responsive to the vehicle battery charging incorrectly, a notification to the authenticated user including a warning the vehicle battery is not charging correctly and a prompt to take a corrective action;
determining, using a predictive model, a battery impact decision including predicting if the authenticated user will depart in the vehicle within a predetermined window of time and identifying driving conditions determined to measurably impact battery performance of the vehicle battery; and
transmitting, to a resident vehicle subsystem of the vehicle responsive to the vehicle battery charging correctly, a command signal to execute a control operation related to the charging of the vehicle battery.
