Vehicle information providing device

摘要

A vehicle information providing device provides route information to vehicles. The vehicle information providing device has a history information accumulation unit that sequentially acquires at least one of driving location information, power consumption information and charging location information from vehicle-mounted devices of a plurality of vehicle, and accumulates this as driving history information. A presentation route determination unit extracts driving location information from the history information accumulation unit, searches for a route that has been traveled from a departure point range to a destination point range from among the traveled routes, and determines the searched route as a presentation route. A presentation information determination unit extracts driving history information from the history information accumulation unit and determines one of power consumed while traveling and charging hubs passed when driving along the presentation route. A presentation information provision unit provides information regarding determination results.
