Abstract
Information of a plurality of locations on a route for a vehicle is received. A plurality of segments of the route is identified based at least in part on the information. A specified state of charge of a vehicle battery and a specified power output of an engine are determined for each of the segments based at least in part on the information. One or more vehicle subsystems is actuated to navigate each of the segments to change a current state of charge of the vehicle battery to the specified state of charge.
