ABSTRACT:
A system, method, and display device for displaying an expected range of driving distances for a vehicle having a driving unit and an energy storage unit. A sensor senses an amount of remaining energy in the energy storage unit. An average minimum energy consumption rate and an average maximum energy consumption rate of the driving unit are determined based on at least one of (a) vehicle-specific energy consumption parameters; and (b) driver-specific energy consumption parameters. A minimum expected driving distance is calculated based on the sensed amount of remaining energy and the average maximum energy consumption rate. A maximum expected driving distance is calculated based on the sensed amount of remaining energy and the average minimum energy consumption rate. The expected range of driving distances defined by the minimum expected driving distance and the maximum expected driving distance are displayed on a display unit.
