Control device for controlling remaining mileage of e.g. electric car, has supervisor calculating remaining mileage with energy consumption by thermal control system and remaining mileage without energy consumption by thermal control system

摘要

The device has a supervisor (48) calculating energy consumption of a thermal control system (42) in a car (40) and energy consumption of the car for a predetermined period based on distance covered and speed of the car. The supervisor calculates the remaining mileage of the car with energy consumption by the thermal control system and the remaining mileage of the car without energy consumption by the thermal control system, based on the remaining amount of energy in a battery (44). A man/machine interface informs difference between the remaining mileages to a driver of the car. An independent claim is also included for a method for controlling remaining mileage of a car.
