A technique is directed to controlling vehicle motion. The technique involves setting a set of motion control parameters which controls motion of the utility vehicle to a set of initial values. The technique further involves receiving stability control inputs which include a geolocation signal identifying a current location of the utility vehicle and a set of motion signals identifying a set of current motion characteristics of the utility vehicle. The technique further involves changing, based on the geolocation signal and the set of motion signals, at least one motion control parameter of the set of motion control parameters which controls motion of the utility vehicle from an initial value to an updated value which is different from the initial value.

Controlling vehicles based on current locations and current motion characteristics

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.
