Method and Apparatus for Predicting Electric Vehicle Energy Consumption

A system includes one or more processors configured to receive a route and receive power-usage-affecting variables. The processor(s) are further configured to break the route into a number of segments. For each segment, the processors are configured to lookup a predetermined power usage estimate, ba...

More Information
Summary:A system includes one or more processors configured to receive a route and receive power-usage-affecting variables. The processor(s) are further configured to break the route into a number of segments. For each segment, the processors are configured to lookup a predetermined power usage estimate, based on the received variables. Also, the processors are configured to present total estimated power usage over the route based on accumulated power usage estimates for each segment.
