Abstract
A fleet management system including a transceiver and a processor is disclosed. The transceiver may be configured to receive a first charger location associated with a first charger, a second charger location associated with a second charger, and a current battery State of Charge (SoC) level associated with a vehicle. The processor may obtain the first charger location, the second charge location and the current battery SoC level from the transceiver responsive to obtaining a trigger signal. The processor may further determine a geo-distance between the first and second charger locations, and estimate an expected battery SoC level required by the vehicle to travel from the first charger location to the second charger location based on the geo-distance. The processor may compare the expected and current battery SoC levels, and output a notification when the current battery SoC level may be greater than the expected battery SoC level.
