In this contribution, the range extension problem of electric vehicles is addressed. To this aim, an intelligent cruise control is developed based on the formulation of an optimal control problem. Solutions of this optimal control problem are energy efficient accelerator pedal position profiles. They can be computed numerically by a direct optimal control method using sequential quadratic programming. The approach is applied to two different driving scenarios. The results show that the energy efficiency is increased by using optimal control for both an artificial and a realistic scenario
