Abstract

See full text

A system and method are provided for displaying information to a driver of a vehicle, including the initiating of a vehicle trip and measuring a distance traveled since vehicle trip initiation. A remaining driving range distance is calculated based upon an onboard energy of the vehicle, and a total vehicle trip range is also calculated and displayed, including the distance traveled since vehicle trip initiation and the remaining driving range distance. The display of the total vehicle range can be displayed as a display bar with the distance traveled shown on one side of a current location indicator and the remaining driving range distance shown proportionally on a second side of the current location indicator. The display of the total vehicle range can be displayed as the numerical distance traveled and the numerical remaining driving range distance.
