METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AN ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE FOR TRIP PLANNING
First Claim
1. A trip planning system for planning a trip based on the charge of an electric vehicle battery, the trip planning system comprising:
- one or more computers located remotely from an electric vehicle having one or more battery packs for powering the electric vehicle, the computer(s) being configured to;
receive geographic parameters defining a trip;
receive battery charge status of the one or more electric vehicle battery packs;
determine that the trip cannot be completed based on the battery charge status; and
present a battery charge requirement for completing the trip.

Abstract
One or more embodiments may include a trip planning system for planning a trip based on the charge of an electric vehicle battery. The trip planning system may include one or more computers located remotely from an electric vehicle which may have one or more battery packs for powering the electric vehicle. The computer(s) may be configured to receive geographic parameters defining a trip and a battery charge status of the one or more electric vehicle battery packs. The computer(s) may be further configured to determine that the trip cannot be completed based on the battery charge status. The computer(s) may additionally be configured to present a battery charge requirement for completing the trip.
