Method and apparatus for determining an estimated remaining driving range of vehicle

An apparatus for determining an estimated remaining driving range of an electric vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• determine, by using at least one computational model, a plurality of remaining driving range predictions, each of the plurality of remaining driving range predictions being based on a corresponding time window of a driving history of the vehicle;
• determine characteristic parameters of a probability distribution function formed at least approximately by the plurality of remaining driving range predictions;
• determine at least one estimated remaining driving range of the vehicle and a corresponding confidence level based on the characteristic parameters of the probability distribution function;
• and
• output the at least one estimated remaining driving range of the vehicle and the corresponding confidence level.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions executed by a processor, the computer-readable medium comprising:

• program instructions that determine, using at least one computational model, a plurality of remaining driving range predictions, each of the plurality of remaining driving range predictions being based on a respective time window of a driving history of a vehicle;
• program instructions that determine characteristic parameters of a probability distribution function formed at least approximately by the plurality of remaining driving range predictions;
• program instructions that determine at least one estimated remaining driving range of the vehicle and a corresponding confidence level based on the characteristic parameters of the probability distribution function;
• and
• program instructions that output the at least one estimated remaining driving range of the vehicle and the corresponding confidence level.
