The invention discloses an
electric vehicle, as well as a method and device for estimating the
sea level elevation of environment around the
electric vehicle. The
electric vehicle comprises a braking booster
system, wherein the braking booster
system comprises a
vacuum pump for extracting air in the braking booster
system to provide vacuum degree in the braking booster system. The method comprises the following steps of judging whether the
vacuum pump is under working state or not, judging whether a braking pedal
signal of the electric vehicle is received or not, and judging whether the
vacuum pump breaks down or not; and if the vacuum pump is under the working state, the braking pedal
signal of the electric vehicle is not received and the vacuum pump does not break down, according to the relationship between the vacuum degree in the braking booster system and time, estimating
environmental pressure of the environment in which the electric vehicle is positioned, and according to the
environmental pressure, calculating the
sea level elevation of the environment in which the electric vehicle is positioned. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the calculation of the
sea level elevation is realized when a manometer does not exist or breaks down, and the driving feeling of a driver and the riding feeling of a passenger are guaranteed.
