Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and device for on-line prediction of remaining driving mileage of an electric vehicle. The method comprises: acquiring in-transit data and driving environment data of the electric vehicle which is driving; calculating the power consumption per mileage of the electric vehicle in the current case by using the in-transit data and the driving environment data in combination with a power consumption rate data model; predicting the remaining driving mileage of the electric vehicle based on the power consumption per mileage. The device provided by the present invention is implemented on the basis of the method above. The prediction result of the present invention is more accurate, to avoid the problem that the power is exhausted due to exceeding the mileage expected by a user so that the electric vehicle cannot continue to drive, thereby improving the driving experience of the user.
