  • Patent number: 9853470
    Abstract: A charge amount display apparatus of an electric vehicle, which enables a driver to be easily aware that a charge amount has been set at a value less than a full charge, is provided. The charge amount display apparatus comprises a control unit 11 for setting a charge limit value which serves as the upper limit of the charge amount of a battery 2; and a display unit 13 for displaying a maximum charge amount, to which the battery 2 can be charged, and the charge limit value. The maximum charge amount is displayed by a segment group 30 composed of a plurality of segments 31 arranged side by side in one direction for representing the charge amount of the battery 2. The segments 31a for a value equal to or lower than the charge limit value, and the segments 31b for a value higher than the charge limit value are displayed in different colors. The segments for a charge amount equal to or lower than the charge limit value are displayed in a first region 21a of a first display region 21 of the display unit 13.
