First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing battery charge state information of an electric vehicle, the method comprising:
- retrieving latest information among remaining battery power amount information at a predetermined period, when an external control signal for the electric vehicle is received;
determining a battery charge state of the electric vehicle, based on the retrieved latest remaining battery power amount information;
determining whether a warning condition is satisfied, based on the remaining battery power amount information; and
providing the battery charge state information by controlling at least one output device of the electric vehicle when the warning condition is satisfied.

Abstract
The disclosure is related to providing information on a battery charge state of a parked electric vehicle through at least one of one or more light lamps and one or more speakers of the parked electric vehicle. Particularly, the disclosure may control at least one of a lamp light color, a lamp blink pattern, and a sound pattern according to the battery charge state information such that a user can recognize the battery charge state away from the electric vehicle through hearing and/or vision.
