More Information
Summary:Many plug-in electric vehicles include a high voltage battery for outputting electrical power to a traction motor in order to propel the vehicle. The distance range of these vehicles may be impacted by usage of a climate control system. A user interface may inform vehicle operators when their current climate control usage may prevent their vehicle from reaching its next charge point. The user interface may also advise drivers to reduce their climate control usage in order to increase vehicle range when the battery is nearing low state of charge conditions.
