1. A computing device comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions including instructions to:
retrieve data including a current charge level of a traction battery in a vehicle and an estimated range of the vehicle based on the charge level remotely from the vehicle;
receive input of planned power usage of the traction battery by a set of devices external to the vehicle;
determine an estimated change of the current charge level based upon the planned power usage based on the current charge level, the estimated range, and the planned power usage;
based on the estimated change of the current charge level, determine a revised charge level of the traction battery and a revised estimated range of the vehicle; and
output the revised charge level of the traction battery and the revised estimated range of the vehicle.
