Abstract: The system disclosed herein is for communication between a first electric vehicle and a second electric vehicle following the first electric vehicle on a route. The system includes a controller communicatively coupled to a battery associated with the second electric vehicle. The controller is configured to acquire a set of operating parameters associated with the first electric vehicle from the first electric vehicle and generate an adjustment command configured to adjust a component operating parameter of at least one component of the second electric vehicle based on the set of operating parameters. The set of operating parameters includes charge station data indicating whether a charge station along the route is unavailable for use.
