1. A vehicle, comprising:

  • a displaya climate control; and

    an apparatus for predicting energy consumption of the vehicle comprising;

    a memory configured to store energy consumption information for the vehicle; and

    a processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to;

    receive the energy consumption information;

    analyze the energy consumption information;

    generate an energy consumption profile based on the analysis of the energy consumption information;

    receive a route, desired cabin temperature, current outside temperature, and vehicle window states;

    estimate travel time along the received route;

    load an historical climate control energy consumption (HCCEC) based on the desired cabin temperature and current outside temperature;

    estimate route climate control energy consumption based on received vehicle window states, the loaded historical climate control energy consumption, and the estimated travel time;

    estimate total route energy consumption based in part on the estimated route climate control energy consumption; and

    display the total route energy consumption.
