DECISION SUPPORT FOR TRIP PLANNING BASED ON ENERGY REQUIREMENTS

Abstract:

Various disclosed embodiments include systems, vehicles, and methods for providing decision support to a person planning to make a trip in a vehicle. In an illustrative embodiment, a computing device has computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions configured to cause the computing device to identify a current travel capability for the vehicle based on available energy aboard the vehicle. A selection of travel information is presented to a user of the computing device. The travel information may include information including a duration of charging required to provide sufficient additional energy to perform a first trip, at least one range of additional travel possible without additional charging after performing the first trip, and at least one potential intermediate destination reachable while performing the first trip without undertaking additional charging.
