Abstract
An approach is provided for an electric vehicle navigation system. For example, a destination is received as input. A geographic database is accessed to obtain data that represents a first road segment of a route to the destination. The data of the first road segment includes a first elevation coefficient of energy consumption associated with a first elevation change. The geographic database is accessed to obtain data that represents a second road segment of the route. The data of the second road segment includes a second elevation coefficient of energy consumption associated with a second elevation change. The first elevation coefficient is different than the second elevation coefficient. Energy consumption by the vehicle along the route is calculated based on the first elevation coefficient and the second elevation coefficient. Data representing energy consumption for the route is outputted as a function of the calculated energy consumption.
