1. An electric vehicle (EV), comprising:
a memory that stores computer executable components; and
a processor that executes at least one of the computer executable components that:
monitors driving operations being performed by a driver while driving the EV;
monitors respective operational parameters of battery modules electrically coupled in a battery pack of the EV, wherein the battery modules respectively comprise one or more battery cells;
in response to determining, based on the respective operating parameters, that a driving operation of the driving operations being performed by the driver is causing respective rates of degradation in operational conditions of the battery modules that exceeds a defined threshold rate of degradation:
identifying a first subset of the battery modules having first respective operational conditions that have degraded greater than a defined threshold amount of degradation, and
identifying a second subset of the battery modules having second respective operational conditions that have not degraded greater than the defined threshold amount of degradation;
presenting a notification to inform the driver of the driving operation being performed by the driver that is causing the degradation, and to inform the driver that the second subset of the battery modules will be prevented from provisioning power to the EV if the driving operation being performed by the driver continues; and
controlling provisioning of the power to the EV from the second subset of the battery modules based on a determination of whether the driving operation being performed by the driver has continued.
