  • Intelligent route determination and electric vehicle range prediction
    Patent number: 12578198
    Abstract: A route optimization system for a battery electric vehicle (BEV) includes a controller programmed to perform the following operations. Determine a navigational route to a destination. Determine a predicted intelligent energy consumption of the BEV based on a set of vehicle operating conditions. Determine a trip estimated energy consumption based on the navigational route and the predicted intelligent energy consumption. If the trip estimated energy consumption is greater than a remaining energy in the high voltage battery, determine an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) charging location along the navigational route. Determine an updated trip estimated energy consumption that accounts for addition of the EVSE charging location to the navigational route. Propose, to the user, an updated navigational route including the EVSE charging location if the remaining energy in the high voltage battery is sufficient to account for the addition of the EVSE charging location to the navigational route.
