Vehicle having an electric motor and method of controlling a display displaying a cruising distance of the vehicle

摘要

A motor generates a kinetic energy for use in running of a vehicle. An electric storage apparatus is charged and discharged and outputs a driving electric power for the motor through the discharge. A display displays a cruising distance over which the vehicle can be run with the motor. A controller calculates the cruising distance based on a full charge capacity of the electric storage apparatus and displays the cruising distance on the display. When the full charge capacity at a present time is smaller than the full charge capacity at a past time and the electric storage apparatus is not discharged, or when the full charge capacity at the present time is larger than the full charge capacity at the past time and the electric storage apparatus is not charged, the controller displays the cruising distance based on the full charge capacity at the past time on the display.
