1. A selective battery control system, comprising:
- a battery exchange station; and
an at least partially electric vehicle communicably coupled to the battery exchange station, wherein the at least partially electric vehicle includes processing circuitry configured todetermine a number of batteries needed for a trip,determine if vehicle weight will changed during the trip,determine if the at least partially electric vehicle has a correct number of batteries, andin response to the at least partially electric vehicle having an incorrect number of batteries, instruct the battery exchange station to add or remove batteries until the at least partially electric vehicle has the correct number of batteries for the trip.

Abstract
A selective battery control system includes a battery exchange station and an at least partially electric vehicle communicably coupled to the battery exchange station. The at least partially electric vehicle includes processing circuitry configured to determine a number of batteries needed for a trip, determine if the at least partially electric vehicle has a correct number of batteries, and in response to the at least partially electric vehicle having an incorrect number of batteries, add or remove batteries until the at least partially electric vehicle has the correct number of batteries for the trip.

13. A method for selective battery control, comprising:
-
determining, via processing circuitry, a number of batteries needed for a trip for an at least partially electric vehicle; determining, via processing circuitry, if vehicle weight will change during the trip; determining, via the processing circuitry, if the at least partially electric vehicle has a correct number of batteries; and in response to the at least partially electric vehicle having an incorrect number of batteries, instructing, via the processing circuitry, a battery exchange station to add or remove batteries until the at least partially electric vehicle has the correct number of batteries for the trip. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
determining a number of batteries needed for a trip for an at least partially electric vehicle; determining, via processing circuitry, if vehicle weight will change during the trip; determining if the at least partially electric vehicle has a correct number of batteries; and in response to the at least partially electric vehicle having an incorrect number of batteries, instructing a battery exchange station to add or remove batteries until the at least partially electric vehicle has the correct number of batteries for the trip. - View Dependent Claims (20)
