1. A method, comprising:
receiving usage data of a group of vehicles;
determining, based on the usage data, an operator of a vehicle of the group of vehicles with a lowest battery degradation;
predicting, based on the usage data, one or more other operators of other vehicles of the group of vehicles, with a highest probability of providing the lowest battery degradation;
sensing a vehicle operating behavior from the one or more other operators, the sensing indicating that an operator of the one or more other operators no longer has a highest probability of providing the lowest battery degradation; and
disabling one or more features of the vehicle for the operator of the one or more other operators.
