METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CHARGING OF A BATTERY IN A VEHICLE

A computer system comprising a processor device configured to determine altitude data of at least one of a charging location and a vehicle located at the charging location, determine topography in a predetermined area around the charging location, determine a maximum altitude drop of the topography in the predetermined area relative to the determined altitude data, instruct charging of a battery of the vehicle from an external power source of the charging location, stop the charging at a predetermined charging level below the nominally fully charged level of the battery in response to the maximum altitude drop being above a predetermined altitude drop threshold, stop the charging at the nominally fully charged level of the battery in response to the maximum altitude drop being below the predetermined altitude drop threshold.
