Electric vehicle driving support system
First Claim

1. An electric vehicle comprising:
- an electric vehicle driving support system comprising at least one processor, the at least one processor programmed to comprise;
an acquisition unit that acquires predictive information of traffic congestion calculated based on acceleration of the electric vehicle;
an economical driving mode output unit that outputs a control instruction to prioritize speed maintenance or acceleration of the electric vehicle when the predictive information of traffic congestion acquired by the acquisition unit indicates a non-congestion tendency, and that outputs a control instruction to prioritize deceleration when the predictive information of traffic congestion indicates a congestion tendency, the congestion tendency is a tendency of non-rectify of a traffic flow and represents a high possibility of traffic congestion to occur or a high possibility of previously-occurring traffic congestion, and the non-congestion tendency is a tendency of non-rectify of a traffic flow and represents a low possibility of traffic congestion to occur or a low possibility of previously-occurring traffic congestion;
a regeneration prioritization mode output unit that outputs a control instruction to prioritize deceleration of the electric vehicle regardless of whether the predictive information of traffic congestion indicates a non-congestion tendency or the predictive information of traffic congestion indicates a congestion tendency; and
a setting unit that sets which of the economical driving mode output unit and the regeneration prioritization mode output unit to select depending on a selection from a driver.

Abstract
An electric vehicle driving support system includes an acquisition unit that acquires predictive information of traffic congestion calculated based on acceleration of an electric vehicle and an economical driving mode output unit that outputs a control instruction to prioritize speed maintenance or acceleration when the predictive information of traffic congestion acquired by the acquisition unit indicates a non-congestion tendency, and that outputs a control instruction to prioritize deceleration when the predictive information of traffic congestion indicates a congestion tendency.
