1. A computer-implemented method of determining an energy efficient route for traveling from an origin to a destination, comprising:

  • receiving a request for a route from an origin location to a destination location on a road network;

    calculating a route from the origin location to the destination location using road segment data and energy consumption data, wherein calculating a route includes;

    determining whether energy consumption data is associated with road segment data for each evaluated road segment;

    determining whether the road segment data for a first road segment lacks energy consumption data;

    predicting in response to the lack of energy consumption data, energy consumption for traveling on the first road segment using energy consumption data for a second road segment; and

    determining the route having the lowest calculated energy consumption,wherein the second road segment has road segment data that contains a threshold number of values representing physical attributes of the second road segment that are substantially similar to the road segment data values associated with the first road segment data.
