IT system relays information to drivers while they are driving. It enables drivers to see at a glance how much power is remaining and when they should recharge. Not only for driving, but also for many other functions, such as charging the vehicle while parked and adjusting the on-board temperature by turning on the cabin climate control before departure.

IT system relays information to drivers while
they are driving. It enables drivers to see at a
glance how much power is remaining and
when they should recharge.
Not only for driving, but also for
many other functions, such as
charging the vehicle while parked
and adjusting the on-board
temperature by turning on the
cabin climate control before
departure.
The Electric vehicle IT system has
two types of functions: those that
are used on-board and those that
are used remotely via a computer
or mobile phone.
·Range forecast area map
·Power consumption display
·Charging station search
·Charging timer
·Energy saving route search
On-board functions:
·Customised information check
·Pre-on board climate conditioning
·Remote charging
Remote functions
The resultant implementation of charging schemes such as
smart charging and V2G can support the growth of variable
renewable energy and can interact with information and
communication technology (ICT) systems to maximise
technical aspects while lowering operating costs through the
use of demand-side management tools.
