Abstract

A vehicle provides an optimized route by minimizing charging rate and provides optimal charging at charging stations. The vehicle includes a user interface receiving a destination input, a storage storing a map data including location of charging stations and charging fee information of each, a driving guide image, and a guide fuel ratio corresponding to the driving guide image. A display displays a driving route and the image. A controller calculates the driving route and a travelable distance based on the battery SOC, selects a charging station as a stopover when a driving distance along the driving route is greater than the travelable distance, calculates a path through which the vehicle passes through the charging station selected as the stopover, determines target charging amount at the charging station selected as the stopover based on the guide fuel ratio and the path, and displays the target charging amount.
