An information providing device has a travelling route searching section that searches for a travelling route leading to a destination, a power consumption amount calculating section that calculates a total power consumption amount consumed when travelling on the travelling route and an information providing section that provides information about a power consumption amount to a user. The power consumption amount calculating section has a first calculating section that refers to travel information correlated with a first unit area and calculates each first power consumption amount consumed to travel in the first unit area, a second calculating section that refers to weather information forecasted for each second unit area, predicts a setting temperature inputted into an air conditioner when travelling in the second unit area and calculates each second power consumption amount consumed in a case where the air conditioner into which the predicted setting temperature is inputted is operated during the travel in the second unit area, and a totalizing section that calculates the total power consumption amount on the basis of the first power consumption amount and the second power consumption amount. With this configuration, the information providing device provides accurate information about the power consumption amount of the vehicle to the user. |
