Proposed is a system for enabling a vehicle to perform a circuit mode. The system includes a communication unit provided in the vehicle to communicate with a vehicle-external device, a service providing server provided in the vehicle-external device to provide information related to a circuit, a controller which recognizes a current position of the vehicle by receiving a signal related to a vehicle position and which determines whether the vehicle arrives at the circuit based on the current position of the vehicle and the information related to the circuit received from the service providing server via the communication unit, the controller being configured to perform control for a circuit guide function that provides guide information related to the circuit mode and circuit driving when the vehicle enters the circuit mode, and an input/output unit outputting and providing the guide information to a driver by controlling the controller.

System for enabling a vehicle to perform a circuit mode

An apparatus for controlling optimization of a charging amount of a battery for a vehicle charged with external power includes: a map storage, a position detector, and a controller to control the map storage and the position detector. The controller acquires a current position of the vehicle when a driver's desired charging setting value is input, acquires altitude information of topography corresponding to a driving path, calculates a gain charging amount in an uphill or downhill section on the driving path based on the altitude information, calculates an optimum charging setting value based on the driver's desired charging setting value and the gain charging amount, calculates a final target charging amount based on the optimum charging setting value and a current residual charging amount, and performs optimum charging of the battery.
