Information provision device

An information provision method, comprising:

• sequentially acquiring traveling location information, power consumption information and charging location information, storing as travel history information, and transmitting the traveling history information to an information provision device by an in-vehicle device mounted on a vehicle including an electric motor;
• receiving the traveling history information transmitted by the in-vehicle device and storing by the information provision device;
• acquiring a planned route from a starting position to a destination by the information provision device by a request of a terminal device;
• comparing the traveling history information stored on the information provision device with the planned route and selecting a route is a same as or similar to the acquired planned route, or a route having a difference from the acquired planned route within a set distance, from traveling routes along which the vehicle traveled to be decided as a provision route by the information provision device;
• transmitting the decided provision route to the terminal device by the information provision device;
• receiving the decided provision route transmitted by the information provision device, displaying and providing information on a result of the determination to a driver of the vehicle by the terminal device so that the driver confirms the provision route when driving the vehicle to a destination beforehand;
• determining power consumed during traveling along the provided route for each driver based on the stored traveling history information by the information provision device;
• transmitting information on maximum power consumption and minimum power consumption among the determined power consumption values for the drivers to the terminal device by the information provision device;
• and
• displaying the maximum power consumption and the minimum power consumption based on the information transmitted by the information provision device by the terminal device so that a user understands variation of the power consumption among the drivers;
• wherein the stored traveling history information stored on the information provision device is referred to synthesize a plurality of traveling routes along which a same vehicle traveled and a synthesized route is formed as the provided route by the information provision device, and
• wherein, from the stored traveling history information stored on the information provision device, at least one of power consumed during traveling along each traveling route making up the synthesized route and a charging location along route that the vehicle passes by during traveling along each traveling route making up the synthesized route is extracted by the information provision device.
