1. A vehicle over-the-air update system comprising:
- a vehicle configured to determine a vehicle battery state of charge (SOC); and
a server configured to;
determine an update characteristic of a pending software update for the vehicle;
determine a vehicle battery SOC threshold based on the update characteristic;
modify the threshold based on a location of the vehicle a most recent key-off event of the vehicle; and
responsively provide the pending software update to the vehicle based on the vehicle battery SOC and the threshold.

Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for determining whether to provide an over-the-air (OTA) update to a vehicle. An example method includes determining an update characteristic of a pending software update for a vehicle. The method also includes determining a vehicle battery state of charge (SOC) threshold based on the update characteristic. The method further includes modifying the threshold based on a location of the vehicle. The method still further includes determining a SOC of a battery of the vehicle. And the method yet further includes responsively providing the pending software update to the vehicle based on the SOC and the threshold.
