Abstract
A method is provided for monitoring the operation of a vehicle powered by a fuel cell and a battery. The method comprises the steps of determining an energy capacity of the vehicle, estimating an energy required for the vehicle to travel on a route to a destination, determining whether the energy required is greater than the energy capacity, and if it is determined that the energy required is greater than the energy capacity, sending a notification to alert a driver of the vehicle.
