Abstract: Techniques for determining range of electric vehicles are described. A sensor provides a signal indicative of the current being supplied by a battery of an electric vehicle to a motor of the electric vehicle. A controller receives the signal and determines the current supplied by the battery. The controller also receives a voltage supplied by the battery and determines a notional distance travelled by the electric vehicle. Based on the voltage, the current, and the notional distance, the controller determines the range of the electric vehicle.
