1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • receiving a request for improving vehicular energy conservation;

    based on received vehicle data and stored data, including a current estimated remaining range and energy consumption rate, indicating how a proposed action should impact vehicle range, determining an appropriate action for improved conservation, via a computer;

    providing the determined action to a vehicle computing system;

    receiving data indicating a change in vehicle energy efficiency resulting from implementation of the action, including indicia that the action was implemented;

    analyzing the data indicating a change in vehicle energy efficiency to determine the effectiveness of the action; and

    updating the stored data indicating how a proposed action should impact vehicle range based on the analyzing.
