A method of providing feedback to a driver of a hybrid or electric vehicle having an energy regeneration mode of operation is provided. The method comprises determining a distance saved value in dependence on an amount of energy recovered during the trip cycle by operation of the vehicle in the regeneration mode. The distance saved value represents the distance which could have been travelled using the recovered energy. The method further comprises displaying the determined distance saved value on a display () of the vehicle ().

Method and system for providing feedback to a driver of a hybrid or electric vehicle

A mirror assembly () includes a mirror head (), a bracket () fastened to the mirror head, and fastening elements () located at the bracket at a distance from the mirror head and connectable to the wing mirror () of a vehicle (). The bracket has bracket parts () joined in a longitudinal direction and mutually connected through a pivoting element (), wherein a bracket part () faces towards the mirror head () relatively to the pivoting element and another bracket part () faces away from the mirror head () relatively to the pivoting element. Because one of the fastening elements is located at the bracket part () facing the mirror head and another of the fastening elements is located at the bracket part () facing away from the mirror head, the mutual orientation of the fastening elements can be adjusted to the exterior shape of the wing mirror.
