Claim 8:
9. A light electric vehicle comprising:
a plurality of switches corresponding to subsystems of the light electric vehicle that require power;
a memory configured to store operating state information;
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory and the plurality of switches, the processor being configured to:
receive the operating state information corresponding to the light electric vehicle;
store the operating state information in the memory;
read the operating state information from the memory to determine a predicted power demand of the light electric vehicle;
select, based on the operating state information and the predicted power demand, an output power tier from a plurality of output power tiers; and
apply the selected output power tier to the light electric vehicle and a rechargeable battery of the light electric vehicle by opening or closing one or more of the plurality of switches;
wherein the plurality of output power tiers comprises:
a first output power tier enabling the rechargeable battery to supply power to a drive train of the light electric vehicle and a fully enabled communications link of the light electric vehicle; and
a second output power tier enabling the rechargeable battery to supply power to the fully enabled communications link of the light electric vehicle, and preventing to prevent the rechargeable battery from powering the drive train; and
a third output power tier enabling the rechargeable battery to supply power to a partially enabled communications link of the light electric vehicle, and preventing the rechargeable battery from powering the drive train and the fully enabled communications link.
