Methods and systems for providing predictive energy consumption feedback for powering a transport climate control system using external data

A method for providing energy consumption feedback for powering a transport climate control system, the method comprising:

• obtaining one or more route parameters;
• obtaining one or more conditions impacting the route via a communications link to a remote server;
• obtaining a pre-route energy level of an energy storage source supplying power to the transport climate control system;
• determining, using a controller, an expected energy consumption of the transport climate control system for the route based on the one or more route parameters and the one or more conditions impacting the route;
• comparing, using the controller, the expected energy consumption for the route to the pre-route energy level of the energy storage source;
• and
• displaying a message via a display, wherein the message is based on the expected energy consumption and the pre-route energy level of the energy storage source.
