VEHICLE EVALUATION DEVICE AND VEHICLE EVALUATION METHOD

摘要

Various forms of vehicle driving energy are provided for vehicles, such as gasoline vehicle, hybrid vehicle, ethanol vehicle, electric vehicle and fuel cell vehicle. In such circumstances, an index is desired by vehicle purchasers, which has a viewpoint on the benefit to be obtained by using an electricity storing section of a vehicle for other than running the vehicle, and with which the economic efficiencies of those vehicles can be more clearly compared/examined, in the correlation between the prices of the abovementioned vehicles using various vehicle drive energy modes, and the fuel consumption and the drive energy consumption costs thereof. To display evaluations of vehicles in various drive energy modes, by dividing a fuel efficiency numerical value by a vehicle price. In addition, to achieve a vehicle evaluation/comparison at the time of purchasing a new car, by setting a planned running distance.

主权项

1. A vehicle evaluation apparatus that evaluates a vehicle, comprising:
a vehicle identification information displaying portion for inputting identification information of the vehicle; a vehicle purchase cost displaying portion for performing at least one of memorizing, and for inputting a purchase cost of the vehicle; a planned vehicle running distance displaying portion for inputting a planned running distance of the vehicle; a unit energy consumption cost displaying portion for performing at least one of memorizing and inputting a unit energy consumption cost per unit running distance of the vehicle that corresponds to the identification information; a running energy consumption cost calculating portion for calculating a running energy consumption cost in a case that the vehicle runs the planned running distance based on the unit energy consumption cost and the planned running distance of the vehicle that corresponds to the identification information; a vehicle evaluation calculating portion for calculating a first vehicle evaluation index through dividing a sum of the purchase cost and the energy consumption cost by the planned running distance; and a displaying portion for displaying the first vehicle evaluation index.
