Disclosed are a method and a control arrangement for setting a remaining distance to empty parameter in an electric vehicle, which involve estimating a first remaining distance to empty value at least based on a remaining state of charge of an energy storage. When the first remaining distance to empty value is estimated to be below a distance to empty threshold value, a second remaining distance to empty value is determined at least based on an actual distance travelled since the first remaining distance to empty value was estimated to be below the distance to empty threshold value. The remaining distance to empty parameter is then set at least based on the second remaining distance to empty value. Hereby, the risk of rapid decrease of the distance to empty parameter at low battery charging level is mitigated and the distance to empty parameter will be perceived as correct.
