Provided is an electric vehicle charging assistance method capable of providing beneficial information for predicting the congestion of a charging spot. On the basis of probe data, planned travel routes are estimated for each of a plurality of electric vehicles (30), and on the basis of the estimated planned travel route information, the positions of each of the plurality of electric vehicles (30) at an arbitrary point in time are estimated. On the basis of the estimated position information, a map of charging needs in an arbitrary information provision area is estimated, and when an electric vehicle (α) makes a request for the provision of information, the estimated charging needs map is presented on a display (31b) of the electric vehicle (α) that made the information provision request. |
