Abstract
A vehicle and a method of controlling the same are disclosed. A vehicle according to an aspect is a vehicle of an electric charging type and may include an input/output interface and a processor configured to receive a target driving distance of the vehicle through the input/output interface, compare the target driving distance with a distance to empty (DTE) of the vehicle to determine a necessity of changing an operating intensity of an air conditioning device of the vehicle, and output a determined result through the input/output interface.
Claims20
A vehicle comprising:
- a battery;
- a motor configured to receive power from the battery;
- an air conditioner configured to receive power from the battery;
- a user interface;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing at least one instruction, wherein the at least one instruction, executed by the processor, is configured to cause the vehicle to:
- determine, based on a user input received via the user interface, a target driving distance of the vehicle, wherein the user input indicates a destination of the vehicle,
- identify a distance to empty (DTE) of the vehicle,
- compare the target driving distance with the DTE of the vehicle,
- change, based on the comparison of the target driving distance with the DTE of the vehicle, an operating intensity of the air conditioner, and
- output, via the user interface, an indication of the changed operating intensity.
A method performed by a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining, based on a location of the vehicle detected via at least one sensor of the vehicle and based on a user input received via a user interface of the vehicle, a target driving distance of the vehicle;
- identifying, based on a state of charge (SOC) of a battery of the vehicle, a distance to empty (DTE) of the vehicle;
- comparing the target driving distance with the DTE of the vehicle;
- changing, based on the comparing of the target driving distance with the DTE of the vehicle, an operating intensity of an air conditioner of the vehicle by sending a control signal to the air conditioner;
- and
- outputting, via the user interface, an indication of the changed operating intensity.
A vehicle comprising:
- at least one sensor;
- a battery;
- a motor configured to receive power from the battery;
- an air conditioner configured to receive power from the battery;
- a user interface;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing at least one instruction, wherein the at least one instruction, executed by the processor, is configured to cause the vehicle to:
- determine, based on a location of the vehicle detected via the at least one sensor and based on a user input received via the user interface, a target driving distance of the vehicle, wherein the user input indicates a destination of the vehicle,
- identify, based on a state of charge (SOC) of the battery, a distance to empty (DTE) of the vehicle,
- compare the target driving distance with the DTE of the vehicle, and
- change, based on the comparison of the target driving distance with the DTE of the vehicle, an operating intensity of the air conditioner by sending a control signal to the air conditioner.
