Abstract:
An alternative range estimating system for a vehicle includes one or more processors and a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors. The memory stores a removable object selection module including computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to control operation of a vehicle input/output system to display a selectable representation of each of one or more removable objects carried by the vehicle. The module may acquire a user selection of at least one removable object from the removable objects displayed. The module may acquire an estimated alternative vehicle range determined using an estimated weight of the at least one removable object. The module may then control operation of the input/output system to display the estimated alternative vehicle range.
