Vehicle system for adaptive energy consumption prediction

1. A vehicle comprising:

one or more transceivers configured to communicate with a server via a remote connection and a fleet vehicle via a direct connection;

one or more sensors; and

one or more controllers programmed to:

responsive to detecting, via the one or more sensors, a first event associated with an increased energy consumption rate compared with a current energy consumption rate, obtain a first candidate energy consumption rate corresponding to the first event from the fleet vehicle,

calculate an estimated energy consumption rate using the first candidate energy consumption rate,

calculate a distance to empty using the estimated energy consumption rate,

obtain a first maximum torque corresponding to the first event, and

operate the vehicle within the first maximum torque.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first event includes: an increased vehicle load, and a speed limit change.

3. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the first event further includes: an ambient temperature change, and a road condition change.

4. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the one or more controllers are further programed to:

responsive to detecting a second event associated with another increased energy consumption rate compared with a current energy consumption rate, obtain a second candidate energy consumption rate corresponding to the second event from the fleet vehicle.

5. The vehicle of claim 4 , wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to:

interpolate between the increased energy consumption rate and the other increased energy consumption rate to determine a transitional energy consumption rate.

6. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to:

measure an actual energy consumption rate as the vehicle drives during the first event; and

upload the actual energy consumption rate to the server.
