Dynamic Driving Range Maps for Improving Driving Range Anxiety
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A non-transitory computer program product storing instructions, which, when executed by at least one data processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- continually receiving or accessing data identifying one or more conditions affecting a driving range of a vehicle powered by at least one battery;
dynamically calculating, based on the received or accessed data, driving range information for the vehicle characterizing a distance the vehicle can travel until the at least one battery is depleted;
generating, based on the dynamically calculated driving range information, a display in a graphical user interface characterizing the driving range information for the vehicle; and
updating the display based on changes in the data identifying the one or more conditions affecting the driving range of the vehicle.

Abstract
The systems, methods and articles described herein are directed to a cloud based server which can access and retrieve data for dynamically calculating and generating information relating to driving ranges of one or more electric vehicles. In addition, the information relating to the driving ranges can be displayed on the one or more electric vehicles for improving driving range anxiety. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

20. A system comprising:
-
an electric vehicle powered by at least one battery; a cloud based server comprising memory and at least one data processor which continually retrieves and accesses data identifying one or more conditions affecting a driving range of at least the electric vehicle, the cloud based server implementing a mileage module which retrieves data from the cloud based computing module and dynamically calculates and generates driving range information for the electric vehicle, the mileage module having wireless communication with the electric vehicle for sending driving range information to the electric vehicle; and a display viewable by the driver of the electric vehicle showing one or more configurations of the driving range information.
