Vehicle power management
Upon deactivating a vehicle, first operating data are collected, the first operating data including a measure of operation of a vehicle component other than a battery of the vehicle. Upon determining that a charge level of the battery of the vehicle is below a charge threshold, second operating data are collected from the vehicle component. Upon determining that the vehicle is unmoved from a location at which the vehicle was deactivated by determining that second operating data are within a threshold of the first operating data, a propulsion system is actuated to charge the battery.
1. A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
upon deactivating a vehicle, collect first operating data including a measure of operation of a vehicle component other than a battery of the vehicle;
then, upon determining that a charge level of the battery of the vehicle is below a charge threshold, collect second operating data from the vehicle component; and
upon determining that the vehicle is unmoved from a location at which the vehicle was deactivated by determining that second operating data are within a threshold of the first operating data, actuate a propulsion system to charge the battery.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to collect second operating data from each of a plurality of vehicle components and to actuate the propulsion system when the second operating data from two or more of the vehicle components exceed respective thresholds.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon deactivating the vehicle, receive user input to monitor the charge level of the battery and, upon receiving the user input, to collect the first operating data from the vehicle component.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to determine that a current location of the vehicle is a different location than the location at which the vehicle was deactivated based on the second operating data and, then, to suppress actuation of the propulsion system to charge the battery.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon determining that the current location of the vehicle is different than the location at which the vehicle was deactivated, request user input to actuate the propulsion system to charge the battery.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is based on a resolution of a sensor collecting operating data from the vehicle component.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle component is a steering wheel and the operating data are steering wheel angle data.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle component is a vehicle seat and the operating data are seat position data.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle component is a door and the operating data are door status data.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon determining that the charge level of the battery exceeds a second charge threshold, deactivate the propulsion system.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to determine an inclination of the vehicle based on the operating data, to determine a second inclination of the vehicle based on the second operating data, and to suppress actuation of the propulsion system to charge the battery when a difference between the second inclination and the inclination is greater than a threshold.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to, based on the second operating data, request user input to actuate the propulsion system to charge the battery.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon receiving user input to activate the vehicle, cease collection of the second operating data.
14. A method, comprising:
upon deactivating a vehicle, collecting first operating data including a measure of operation of a vehicle component other than a battery of the vehicle;
then, upon determining that a charge level of the battery of the vehicle is below a charge threshold, collecting second operating data from the vehicle component; and
upon determining that the vehicle is unmoved from a location at which the vehicle was deactivated by determining that second operating data are within a threshold of the first operating data, actuating a propulsion system to charge the battery.
15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising collecting second operating data from each of a plurality of vehicle components and actuating the propulsion system when the second operating data from two or more of the vehicle components exceed respective thresholds.
16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising, upon deactivating the vehicle, receiving user input to monitor the charge level of the battery and, upon receiving the user input, collecting the first operating data from the vehicle component.
17. The method of claim 14 , further comprising determining that a current location of the vehicle is a different location than the location at which the vehicle was deactivated based on the second operating data and, then, suppressing actuation of the propulsion system to charge the battery.
18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the threshold is based on a resolution of a sensor collecting operating data from the vehicle component.
19. The method of claim 14 , further comprising, upon determining that the charge level of the battery exceeds a second charge threshold, deactivating the propulsion system.
20. The method of claim 14 , further comprising determining an inclination of the vehicle based on the operating data, determining a second inclination of the vehicle based on the second operating data, and suppressing actuation of the propulsion system to charge the battery when a difference between the second inclination and the inclination is greater than a threshold.
