Patent ID: 8803678

Claim:
A system, comprising: a computer processor; an antenna; a data bus communicatively coupling the antenna to the computer processor within a vehicle; and logic executable by the computer processor, the logic configured to implement a method, the method comprising: detecting, via the antenna, a key fob within range of the vehicle, the key fob associated with an individual; searching a database for a record having an identifier that matches an identifier of the key fob, the record storing historical drive cycle data associated with the key fob and the individual; retrieving the historical drive cycle data; calculating a projected electric range value indicative of a distance in which the vehicle is capable of traveling on electric-only power, the projected electric range value calculated as a function of a distance calculated based on remaining battery charge and adjusted based on a driving style of the individual, the driving style of the individual determined from the historical drive cycle data; and transmitting the projected electric range value over the data bus to a device in the vehicle, and presenting the projected electric range value via the device.
