Abstract

A vehicle includes a power supply including a battery, a display, a storage configured to store a power matching data, and a fuel efficiency matching data, and a controller configured to determine driving power supplied by the battery, determine a current driving fuel efficiency corresponding to a reference weight based on the driving power and the power matching data, determine the current weight of the vehicle, determine a first fuel efficiency based on an accumulated driving fuel efficiency accumulated from a previous charging time point to a current charging time point and the current driving fuel efficiency at the current charging time point, determine a second fuel efficiency based on the fuel efficiency matching data and the first fuel efficiency corresponding to each of the existing weight and the current weight, determine the estimated driving distance of the vehicle based on the charging capacity of the battery and the second fuel efficiency, and output the estimated driving distance to the display.
