Abstract:
1. A method of reducing range anxiety in a vehicle including a motor coupled to a battery, the method comprising: determining a state-of-charge associated with the battery using at least one sensor communicatively coupled with the battery; determining a first drivable range of the vehicle for the state-of-charge associated with the battery; determining a second drivable range of the vehicle for the state-of-charge associated with the battery based on a first set of information; determining a third drivable range of the vehicle for the state-of-charge associated with the battery based on a second set of information, the second set of information different from the first set of information; and displaying a map including a first zone associated with the first drivable range, a second zone associated with the second drivable range, and a third zone associated with the third drivable range.
