Systems and methods are provided for providing predictive energy consumption feedback for powering a transport climate control system. This can include determining whether an energy level of an energy storage source is greater than an expected energy consumption of a transport climate control system during a route, based on route parameters. The route parameters may be obtained via a human-machine interface. When the energy storage source is less than the expected energy consumption, a user is alerted. The systems and methods may further compare the energy level to an expected energy level during transit to determine if the energy level is greater or less than expected and alert the user when the energy level is less than expected.
