ENERGY CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC CAR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To highly accurately predict a drivable range given by present residual power, by exactly grasping a power consumption history and a driving history of the past. SOLUTION: The data transmitted from each vehicle are received by a data center and registered in a database, and the data are totaled and analyzed to predict a drivable range given by present residual power is predicted. The prediction processing of the drivable range is executed upon a request from a display AP, and a list of ECU data to be displayed is acquired from the database (S50). If the residual power remains, average fuel consumption is acquired from a fuel consumption map (S53), and the power to be consumed is predicted (S56). Then, a driving distance is predicted, on the basis of the predicted power consumption and the average fuel consumption (S57, S58), and a display view is transmitted (S59).
