1. A display unit for an automobile for displaying a remaining amount of driving energy and a remaining distance, including:
- a cartesian graph display means comprising a vertical axis disposed substantially along a vertical side of a display area and a horizontal axis disposed substantially along a horizontal side of said display area, such that an origin of said graph lies substantially in a corner of said display area;
whereinsaid vertical axis indicates the remaining amount of driving energy; and
said horizontal axis indicates the remaining distance, said remaining distance corresponding to that which can be travelled by the automobile on said remaining amount of driving energy.

Abstract
A display unit for an automobile includes a graph comprising a vertical axis X and a horizontal axis Y. The vertical axis X indicates a remaining capacity of driving energy, such the capacity of batteries in an electric vehicle, and the horizontal axis Y indicates a remaining distance that can be traveled based on the remaining capacity of driving energy. Thus, the remaining capacity and the remaining distance are integrally displayed on a single graph.

5. A display unit for an automobile for displaying both a remaining amount of driving energy and a remaining distance, including:
-
a cartesian graph display means comprising a first axis disposed substantially along one side of a display area and a second axis disposed substantially along another side of said display area, said first and second axes being positioned at a substantial angle such that an origin of said graph lies substantially in a corner of said display area;
whereinsaid first axis indicates the remaining amount of driving energy; and said second axis indicates the remaining distance, said remaining distance corresponding to that which can be travelled by the automobile on said remaining amount of driving energy.
