A control system of a vehicle comprising an electric motor that drives the vehicle, a battery that provides electrical power to the electric motor, a wireless transceiver that communicates with a weather data server, and a vehicle range prediction module coupled to the wireless transceiver. The vehicle range prediction module receives from the weather data server a plurality of wind characteristic data, each of the wind characteristic data associated with one of a plurality of points along a predetermined route to be traveled by the vehicle and a plurality of solar energy data, each of the solar energy data associated with one of the plurality of points along the predetermined route to be traveled by the vehicle. The vehicle range prediction module determines the predicted range of the vehicle based on the wind characteristic data and the solar energy data.
