It enables drivers to see at a glance how much power is remaining and when they should recharge. Not only for driving, but also for many other functions, such as charging the vehicle while parked and adjusting the on-board temperature by turning on the cabin climate control before departure. The Electric vehicle IT system has two types of functions: those that are used on-board and those that are used remotely via a computer or mobile phone. On-board functions: ·Range forecast area map ·Power consumption display ·Charging station search ·Charging timer ·Energy saving route search Remote functions ·Customised information check ·Pre-on board climate conditioning ·Remote charging The resultant implementation of charging schemes such as smart charging and V2G can support the growth of variable renewable energy and can interact with information and communication technology (ICT) systems to maximise technical aspects while lowering operating costs through the use of demand-side management tools.
