A battery module with removable cells and a battery management system or charging station system that determines the number of cells to use for a given trip. Thus, the system receives trip information (starting point, destination, stops, etc.) and determines the number of cells required for the trip, optionally based on traffic conditions, weather, prior driving habits, cell state of charge (SOC), cell state of health (SOH), and the like. The system can recommend which cells to leave in the vehicle, which cells to remove from the vehicle, which cells to place in the vehicle, which cells to charge, and the like, via a visual indicator. Importantly, a number of cells actually required for the trip can be suggested, without extra cells, such that extra weight in terms of unused cells may be removed from the vehicle, thereby increasing trip efficiency.
