A vehicle alert system may include a controller configured to receive a waypoint and a current vehicle energy, determine a route to the waypoint and vehicle energy necessary to accomplish the route, receive waypoint information indicative of non-driving energy consumption associated with the waypoint, and generate an adjustment factor based on the non-driving energy consumption. The controller may further be configured to attribute the adjustment factor to the vehicle energy necessary to accomplish the route, determine whether the attributed vehicle energy exceeds the current vehicle energy, and issue an alert in response to the attributed vehicle energy exceeding the current vehicle energy.
