1. A method comprising:
- receiving information corresponding at least to (i) a state of charge of an energy storage of a vehicle, (ii) route information corresponding to a planned driving route for the vehicle, and (iii) a predicted driver characteristic;
determining, using the received information, a first energy-versus-distance measure for the planned driving route;
presenting the first energy-versus-distance measure on a user interface associated with the vehicle;
receiving, via the user interface, a user input to a drive simulator proposing a what-if scenario, the user input indicating a proposed change in at least the predicted driver characteristic, wherein the proposed change in the predicted driver characteristic would alter the first energy- versus-distance measure;
determining, using the received information and the user input, a second energy-versus-distance measure for the planned driving route that takes into account the proposed change in the predicted driver characteristic; and
presenting the second energy-versus-distance measure on the user interface.

Abstract
A method includes: receiving information corresponding at least to (i) a state of charge of an energy storage of a vehicle, (ii) route information corresponding to a planned driving route for the vehicle, and (iii) a predicted driver characteristic; determining using the received information, and presenting to a driver of the vehicle, a first energy-versus-distance measure for the planned driving route; receiving a user input indicating a proposed change in at least the driver characteristics, and determining using the received information and the user input, and presenting to the driver, a second energy-versus-distance measure for the planned driving route that takes into account the proposed change.

19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed cause a processor to generate a first graphical user interface comprising:
-
an area presenting a first energy-versus-distance measure for a planned driving route for an electric vehicle, the first energy-versus-distance measure determined using received information comprising at least (i) a state of charge of an energy storage of the electric vehicle, (ii) route information corresponding to the electric vehicle, and (iii) a predicted driver characteristic; and an input control for generating a user input to a drive simulator proposing a what-if scenario, the user input indicating a proposed change in at least the predicted driver characteristic, wherein the proposed change in the predicted driver characteristic would alter the first energy-versus-distance measure, and wherein a second energy-versus-distance measure for the planned driving route is determined using the received information and the user input and presented in the area, the second energy-versus-distance measure taking into account the proposed change. - View Dependent Claims (20)
