A display device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a use status of a battery that stores electric power for traveling of a vehicle; a display unit configured to display an image; and a display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display an image in which a state of the battery is represented by an anthropomorphic character based on an acquisition result of the acquisition unit.

Provided is an operating state display method in an electric vehicle in which the drive electric power is supplied from a battery to a travel motor. The operating state display method includes an eco-level setting step of setting an eco-level with respect to an operating state of the electric vehicle based on a vehicle speed of the electric vehicle and an output of the travel motor, and a display step of displaying in a vehicle cabin an eco-level gauge configured to expand or contract according to the eco-level.

An influence degree display device includes an acquirer configured to acquire information regarding magnitude of an influence factor that has an influence on progress of deterioration of a secondary cell that stores power used to drive an electric motor vehicle a display configured to display an image and a display controller configured to cause the display to display an image indicating the degree of influence on the progress of the deterioration of the secondary cell in accordance with the acquired magnitude of the influence factor.

A vehicle includes a controller programmed to activate a fuel savings feature upon satisfaction of transition conditions and inhibit the transition according to satisfaction of inhibit conditions. The controller is further programmed to accumulate data indicative of the inhibit conditions and a time associated with the conditions being satisfied over a drive cycle.

A hybrid vehicle comprises an engine, a motor and a meter display device. The hybrid vehicle is configured to display a tachometer on the meter display device in response to selection of a sport mode in a CS mode and to display a power meter on the meter display device irrespective of selection of the sport mode in a CD mode.

Disclosed are a vehicle and a method of providing fuel consumption information thereof in which the influence of driver's pedal operation on actual fuel consumption, including a latent distance to empty (DTE), due to variation in kinetic energy of the vehicle may be displayed. The method includes detecting whether or not one of an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal is operated, determining guidance fuel consumption based on a change in an available coasting distance according to a change in a vehicle speed due to operation of the one of the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, which is detected, and outputting the determined guidance fuel consumption.

Performance parameters of a vehicle can be measured by an on-board performance parameter measuring device. The performance parameters can be measured while the vehicle is being used. The measured performance parameters of the vehicle can be transmitted to a computing device. The computing device can be configured to generate a user cost that reflects a cost for insuring the vehicle based on the measured performance parameters of the vehicle. A graphical user interface can be generated by the computing device for presentation to a user via a display device, that graphical user interface can include the user cost. An alternative transportation route for the journey and an alternative transportation cost for the journey can be determined and presented to the user through the graphical user interface.

A vehicle includes a traction battery and a controller. The controller is programmed to output an age value of the traction battery based on a ratio of a reference capacity value to an initial reference capacity. The reference capacity value is derived from a mean and a standard deviation of a plurality of historical battery capacity values and has a predetermined probability of being less than an actual battery capacity. The controller is programmed to adjust a battery control strategy based on the age value. The vehicle includes an instrument cluster that is configured to display the age value.

A method for performing driver performance comparisons is enabled, e.g., via in-vehicle capture of performance data from multiple vehicles or drivers. The performance comparisons are enabled via a geohash-based path analysis.

Vehicle driving assistance systems, methods, and programs display a recommended driving marking superimposed on a real view on a display. The recommended driving marking includes (i) a recommended route marking representing a recommended route, the recommended route being a traveling route with a relatively low likelihood of interference with one or a plurality of obstacles present in a traveling direction of a vehicle; and (ii) a recommended speed marking representing a recommended speed index, the recommended speed index being an index related to a travel speed recommended when the vehicle travels the recommended route. The recommended route marking and the recommended speed marking are displayed so as to be associated with each other.
