Abstract

A system and method are provided for displaying information to a driver of a vehicle, including the initiating of a vehicle trip and measuring a distance traveled since vehicle trip initiation. A remaining driving range distance is calculated based upon an onboard energy of the vehicle, and a total vehicle trip range is also calculated and displayed, including the distance traveled since vehicle trip initiation and the remaining driving range distance. The display of the total vehicle range can be displayed as a display bar with the distance traveled shown on one side of a current location indicator and the remaining driving range distance shown proportionally on a second side of the current location indicator. The display of the total vehicle range can be displayed as the numerical distance traveled and the numerical remaining driving range distance.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improvements in the display of vehicle driving range information for reducing range anxiety. Background technique [0002] This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art. [0003] Electric vehicles have become increasingly common. The cost of recharging a vehicle battery is significantly lower than the cost of the fuel used to power a conventional vehicle with an internal combustion engine. Additionally, electric vehicles can reduce the amount of harmful emissions associated with traditional internal combustion engines. [0004] Because electric vehicles employ relatively new technological advancements, the time required to recharge the vehicle battery and the lack of publicly accessible charging stations available can detract from the remaining driving an electric vehicle driver can have on the vehicle to complete their current trip. Mileage creates ...
