Provided is a vehicle including: an image acquisition unit; a cap provided on a body of the vehicle and configured to open and close a replenishing port for replenishing an energy source; a driving unit allowing the cap to be separated or connected from/to the body; and a controller configured to determine an intention of a user to replenish the energy source on the basis of an image acquired by the image acquisition unit, and control the driving unit such that the cap is automatically separated from the body in response to determining that the intention of the user to replenish the energy source exists.

Vehicle including a cap that is automatically separated from a vehicle body

A vehicle battery management apparatus and a method thereof are provided. The vehicle battery management apparatus includes a battery that supplies power to a vehicle, a cooling device that cools the battery and a controller that monitors a state of the battery during parking and controls the cooling device to cool the battery with a cooling level corresponding to the state of the battery.

Vehicle battery management apparatus and method thereof

A vehicle may include a driving unit configured to move the vehicle, a communicator configured to communicate with an external device and a controller configured to authenticate a temporary driver and allow temporary driving by the temporary driver in a response to a driver's input received through the communicator, wherein during the temporary driving, the controller limits output of the driving unit, and controls the driving unit to limit maximum speed of the vehicle, and stores driving record of the vehicle.

Vehicle and control method thereof

A vehicle may include: a power-supplier; a starting part to receive an ignition command; a drive part to generate driving force, braking force, and steering force using power of the power-supplier; a user interface (UI) to receive power from the power-supplier, a command from a user, and output image information; and a controller to control the drive part and the user interface (UI) upon receiving an ignition command, stop operation of the drive part upon receiving a command of a rest mode, and to perform and control operation of the user interface (UI). The vehicle may further include: an air conditioner to adjust an indoor temperature; an input to receive an operation command of the air conditioner, a target indoor temperature and a rest mode. The controller controls the air conditioner on the basis of detected indoor and outdoor temperatures.

For informing a user of a current battery SOC (State Of Charge) value (%) and a cost required for a full charging, an apparatus for providing charging information of an electric vehicle includes storage that stores chargeable capacity information of a battery mounted in the electric vehicle, a communication module that receives a charging fee schedule of a charging station, a controller area network (CAN) connection module that acquires charged amount information corresponding to a current SOC value of the battery, a controller that calculates an expected charging cost based on the chargeable capacity information of the battery, the charged amount information corresponding to the current SOC value of the battery, and the charging fee schedule, and a displaying assembly that displays the calculated expected charging cost and the current SOC value of the battery.

Apparatus and method for providing charging information of electric vehicle

A method of controlling an air conditioning system for a vehicle is provided. The method includes detecting a cooling mode while the vehicle is being driven and comparing a vent discharge temperature of air with a cooling target temperature set by a user. When the vent discharge temperature is greater than the cooling target temperature the compressor RPM is determined and air is introduced into the vehicle without passing through the interior heat exchanger and the electric heater. When the vent discharge temperature is less than the cooling target temperature, the compressor RPM is determined and a door in the system is opened to guide the air through the interior heat exchanger to heat the air is heated and then the vent discharge temperature is compared with the cooling target temperature again, and the electric heater is operated.

System and method of controlling air conditioning system for vehicle

A method for controlling an air conditioner compressor includes: driving the air conditioner compressor for a first time at a first revolutions per minute (RPM) smaller than a minimum lubrication demand RPM when a lubrication demand RPM of the air conditioner compressor is smaller than the minimum lubrication demand RPM; and driving the air conditioner compressor for a second time at the minimum lubrication demand RPM when the lubrication demand RPM of the air conditioner compressor is smaller than the minimum lubrication demand RPM after the first time elapse.

Method for controlling air conditioner compressor

A system and method of estimating an available driving distance of an electric vehicle are provided. The method includes dividing a road into sections and receiving driving information from a vehicle traveling through each of the sections. Fuel efficiency data of the corresponding section is generated and vehicle condition information, and departure point and destination information is received from the target vehicle. Additionally, the method includes receiving real time meteorological information and road traffic situation information for each of the sections and reflecting the vehicle condition information of the target vehicle, the meteorological information and the road traffic situation information in the fuel efficiency data generated for each of the sections of the road from the departure point toward the destination. Estimated fuel efficiency and an estimated available driving distance of the target vehicle are then determined to be provided to vehicle driver.
