<p>A system for optimizing energy storage component (24) usage in a vehicle comprising one of a hybrid vehicle and an electric vehicle, the vehicle (10) comprising a computer (26) programmed to identify if a vehicle position is associated with link data in a database (42) of historical power usage data, the link data comprising measured historical power usage data for a link data of vehicle travel. If the vehicle (10) position is associated with the link data, the computer (26) is programmed to obtain the link data of the link from the database (42), the link data absent terrain information from the database (42). The computer (26) is also programmed to determine an expected vehicle power usage of the vehicle (10) based on the obtained link data and optimize the energy storage component (24) usage based on the expected vehicle power usage and based on efficiency and life cycle costs of an energy storage component (24) of the vehicle (10) if the vehicle (10) position is associated with the link data.</p> |
