1. An information display system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a display including an energy consumption gauge providing measurement along an efficiency scale; and
a controller, in communication with the display, configured toinclude an average efficiency indicator along the scale indicative of an efficiency of a driver of the vehicle, andinclude a peer efficiency indicator, based on a peer consumption rate, along the scale indicative of an efficiency of driving peers of the driver, wherein the peer consumption rate includes an average consumption rate of a peer group of drivers with similar driving habits as a driver of a vehicle.

Abstract
An information display system includes a display including an energy consumption gauge having a bar. The display system includes a controller in communication with the display and configured to instruct the display to include an average efficiency indicator relatively arranged on the bar based on a calculated driver efficiency value, and instruct the display to include a peer efficiency indicator relatively arranged on the bar based on a peer efficiency value.

7. A method, comprising:
-
determining a peer driving efficiency for an electric vehicle based on peer efficiency data for a peer group including a plurality of peers, wherein the peer group includes drivers with similar driving habits as a driver of the vehicle; calculating an average driver efficiency; and displaying an efficiency gauge having an average efficiency indicator corresponding to the average driver efficiency, and a peer efficiency indicator corresponding to the peer efficiency, wherein the average efficiency indicator and peer efficiency indicator are displayed along a scale of the gauge relative to one another based on their respective efficiencies. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An energy consumption gauge, comprising:
-
a linear bar providing an efficiency scale between an upper limit and a lower limit; an efficiency indicator corresponding to an energy consumption rate and movable along the scale between the upper and lower limits, a peer indicator corresponding to a peer consumption rate and movable along the scale between the upper and lower limits to illustrate a comparison between the energy consumption rate and the peer consumption rate, wherein the peer consumption rate includes an average consumption rate of a peer group of drivers with similar driving habits as a driver of a vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (16)
