1. A preemptive vehicle reenergizing system, comprising:
an energy storage system; and
a control module programmed to command an alert for reenergizing the energy storage system in response to predicting that a power disruption condition of a grid power source is likely to raise a cost of energy purchased from the grid power source by greater than a predefined threshold,
wherein the predefined threshold is defined as a percentage increase of the cost,
wherein the alert includes a first estimated cost associated with reenergizing the energy storage system before the power disruption condition takes effect and a second estimated cost associated with reenergizing the energy storage system after the power disruption condition takes effect.
