First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving a vehicle route;
receiving data relating to a vehicle charge level;
estimating a power requirement required to travel a length of the vehicle route;
contingent on a vehicle charge state being insufficient to meet the power requirement, comparing the vehicle route to power outage data to establish power outage regions along the vehicle route; and
sending a warning for at least one portion of the route containing a power outage region to a vehicle computing system for relay to a driver.

Abstract
A computer implemented method includes receiving a vehicle route. The method further includes receiving data relating to a vehicle charge level. Also, the method includes estimating a power requirement required to travel the length of the vehicle route. The method additionally includes contingent on a vehicle charge state being insufficient to meet the power requirement, comparing the vehicle route to power outage data to establish the presence of power outage regions along the vehicle route. Further, the method includes sending a warning for at least one portion of the route containing a power outage region to a vehicle computing system for relay to a driver.
