Vehicle range projection for multiple drivers of a shared vehicle

A method, comprising:

• detecting, via an antenna embedded in a vehicle, a key fob within range of the vehicle, the key fob associated with an individual;
• searching, via a computer processor embedded in the vehicle, a database for a record having an identifier that matches an identifier of the key fob, the record storing historical drive cycle data associated with the key fob and the individual;
• retrieving the historical drive cycle data;
• calculating a projected electric range value indicative of a distance in which the vehicle is capable of traveling on electric-only power, the projected electric range value calculated as a function of a distance calculated based on available battery charge and adjusted based on a driving style of the individual, the driving style of the individual determined from the historical drive cycle data;
• and
• transmitting the projected electric range value over a data bus to a device in the vehicle, and presenting the projected electric range value via the device.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, which when executed by a computer processor, causes the computer processor to implement a method, the method including:

• detecting, via an antenna embedded in a vehicle, a key fob within range of the vehicle, the key fob associated with an individual;
• searching a database stored in a vehicle for a record having an identifier that matches an identifier of the key fob, the record storing historical drive cycle data associated with the key fob and the individual;
• retrieving the historical drive cycle data;
• calculating a projected electric range value indicative of a distance in which the vehicle is capable of traveling on electric-only power, the projected electric range value calculated as a function of a distance calculated based on available battery charge and adjusted based on a driving style of the individual, the driving style of the individual determined from the historical drive cycle data;
• and
• transmitting the projected electric range value over the data bus to a device in the vehicle, presenting the projected electric range value via the device.
