Abstract
A telematics device for an electric vehicle and a remote air-conditioning control method thereof are provided. A vehicle driver remote adjusts an indoor temperature of the electric vehicle by driving an air-conditioning unit of the vehicle during the battery charging, so that a travelable distance based on the battery life can be maximized.
Claims11
A telematics device for an electric vehicle comprising:
- a temperature adjusting unit for adjusting an indoor temperature by driving an air-conditioning unit of the electric vehicle;
- a battery charging unit for controlling battery charging, and adjusting a current amount applied to the temperature adjusting unit according to battery State of Charge (SOC) information and a charging current amount when receiving a power-supply signal for the temperature adjusting unit during a battery charging time;
- and
- a controller for outputting the power-supply signal upon receiving a remote control signal from a predetermined server, and adjusting an indoor temperature of the electric vehicle by controlling the temperature adjusting unit,
- wherein the battery charging unit adjusts a ratio of a current amount required for the battery charging to another current amount applied to the themperature adjusting unit according to the battery SOC information and the charging current amount.
