More Information
Summary:A vehicle may include: at least one power source; a plurality of wheels; a motor configured to drive at least one of the plurality of wheels with energy stored in the power source; and at least one processor configured to: break a received route into a plurality of segments; and calculate a route energy consumption rate correction factor (RECF) of a current segment as a function of the following received values: a RECF of a previous segment, an observed energy consumption rate, and an estimated energy consumption rate.
