The invention relates to a method for optimizing the power consumption of a vehicle. The vehicle comprises an electronic control unit (ECU), a GPS receiver and communication means for remotely accessing a network cloud and/or server, the method comprising: - sending vehicle data from the GPS receiver and the ECU to the network cloud and/or server upon starting the vehicle; - calculating a most probable final destination and a most probable optimized route of the vehicle in the network cloud and/or server based on the sent vehicle data; - calculating a most probable driving mode map in the network cloud and/or server based on the most probable final destination, the most probable optimized route and the sent vehicle data; - calculating an optimized power utilization of propulsion sources for the vehicle in the network cloud and/or server based on said most probable driving mode map, most probable final destination and most probable optimized route; - returning the optimized power utilization of propulsion sources to the vehicle from the network cloud and/or server, the most probable power utilization of propulsion sources being dependent on the most probable driving mode, most probable final destination and most probable optimized route of the vehicle; - using the optimized power utilization of propulsion sources to control the drive train modes and/or peripheral equipment of the vehicle during driving in order to optimize the power consumption of the vehicle.
