Method for calculating predicted travel distance of vehicle, involves calculating maximum predicted travel distance of vehicle based on detected increase in consumption of stored energy in vehicle

摘要

The method involves detecting temperature (22) of vehicle and intensity of solar radiation (24), and detecting increase in consumption of stored energy in vehicle. A maximum predicted travel distance (23) of the vehicle is calculated based on detected increase in consumption of stored energy in vehicle. An independent claim is included for a controller for calculating predicted travel distance of vehicle.
