  • Device and method for controlling electric vehicle
    Patent number: 9649940
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and method for controlling an electric vehicle that enables a user to easily control a predicted distance that can be travelled by displaying the predicted distance that can be travelled in response to the power consumption of electric loads on the electric vehicle. The device for controlling the electric vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a power consumption detector that detects a first power consumption of main electric loads associated with the operation of the electric vehicle and a second power consumption of optional electric loads on the electric vehicle; a control unit that determines a first predicted distance that can be travelled corresponding to the first power consumption detected and a second predicted distance that can be travelled corresponding to the second power consumption detected; and a display that displays the first and second predicted distances that can be travelled.
