Abstract: A method manages a kilometer range of an electric-traction vehicle supplied with power by an electric battery including a usable capacity and a reserve. When the vehicle indicates a remaining range that is equal to a number of guaranteed kilometers, the method displays a range that decreases linearly over time, regardless of the coming driving conditions for the vehicle.

The method includes an additional usable capacity release step so as to temporarily increase the autonomy of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method compensates for wheel torque interruption for a change in braking ratio in a vehicle with an electric traction unit linked to wheels by a gearbox that transmits, to the wheels, the braking torque of the electric traction unit in the deceleration phase over at least two transmission ratios, and a mechanical braking system acting on the wheels independently of the electric traction unit. The method includes defining a setpoint for mechanical braking torque at the wheels, depending on the control type of the electric traction unit, and the date of the downshift ratio change request to the gearbox. The mechanical braking torque setpoint is equal to the difference between an anticipated torque request to the electric traction unit and the estimation of the torque at the wheel, before the date of the end of the shift at the gearbox, if the electric traction unit is torque-controlled.
