Vehicle support device, vehicle support method, and storage medium

A vehicle control method that is executed by a computer mounted in a vehicle, the vehicle control method comprising:

• estimating an energy replenishment point on the basis of the number of times of use or a frequency of use of each energy replenishment point at which a power was stored in a power storage battery of a vehicle in the past, the vehicle including a power generation unit including an internal combustion engine that outputs a motive power to be used by an electric motor, and the electric motor that generates a power using the motive power output by the internal combustion engine, the power storage battery that stores the power generated by the power generation unit or a power supplied at the energy replenishment point, an electric motor for traveling that is connected to driving wheels of the vehicle and driven using the power supplied from the power storage battery to rotate the driving wheels;
• and
• providing information on the estimated energy replenishment point to the vehicle.

A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program, the program causing a computer to:

• estimate an energy replenishment point on the basis of the number of times of use or a frequency of use of each energy replenishment point at which a power was stored in a power storage battery of a vehicle in the past, the vehicle including a power generation unit including an internal combustion engine that outputs a motive power to be used by an electric motor, and the electric motor that generates a power using the motive power output by the internal combustion engine, the power storage battery that stores the power generated by the power generation unit or a power supplied at the energy replenishment point, an electric motor for traveling that is connected to driving wheels of the vehicle and driven using the power supplied from the power storage battery to rotate the driving wheels;
• and
• provide information on the estimated energy replenishment point to the vehicle.
