Vehicle tracking energy consumption and range using charging data
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12008848B2) discloses a vehicle equipped with a rechargeable battery, a motor powered by the battery, and a controller that monitors energy consumption through an onboard current monitor. The controller communicates with an offboard charging station to track the quantity of charge added to the battery during charging events. By updating a bias term associated with the current monitor, the controller can accurately report the vehicle's range to the user. Additionally, the controller can estimate charge usage before charging events, calculate remaining battery life, and assess the vehicle's efficiency based on the bias term.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for tracking current usage in an electric vehicle, involving the measurement of current consumption by the onboard monitor, updating the bias term based on charging data from the offboard station, and determining the vehicle's range using the updated bias term. The method also includes estimating charge usage before charging events, calculating remaining battery life, and evaluating the vehicle's efficiency. The controller can adjust the bias term based on comparisons between estimated and actual charge usage, even without a recharging event, by monitoring changes in battery voltage and remaining capacity. Overall, this patent introduces a comprehensive system and method for accurately monitoring and reporting energy consumption in electric vehicles, enhancing user awareness and efficiency in managing battery life and range.
