  • Publication number: 20250077221
    Abstract: A method for updating vehicle software can include: receiving a request for an update of vehicle software, determining whether a state of charge (SOC) of a vehicle battery can be calculated, determining, based on a determination that the SOC of the vehicle battery can be calculated, whether the vehicle software can be updated according to a value obtained by subtracting an expected amount of discharge from a current capacity of a battery being greater than a predetermined amount of energy, determining, based on a determination that the SOC of the vehicle battery cannot be calculated, whether the vehicle software can be updated according to an amount of accumulated current being greater than the expected amount of discharge and updating, based on a determination that the vehicle software can be updated and the vehicle engine being turned off, the vehicle software according to a remaining capacity of the vehicle battery.
