SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A MISSION-BASED BATTERY STATUS DISPLAY FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for displaying operating data for a re-chargeable battery for an electric vehicle. The system comprises a re-chargeable battery for powering components of an electrical vehicle, a sensor that detects a present level of charge in the battery and a display. The display receives the present level of charge of the battery from the monitor and displays the present level of charge in the battery, a required level of endurance for the battery that is based on a planned operational parameter for the vehicle, a minimum level of charge in the battery that meets the required level of endurance, and an amount of time needed to re-charge the battery to achieve the minimum level of charge.
