Original Abstract Submitted
An information providing apparatus included in a vehicle includes: a remaining-amount-of-power acquisition unit that calculates a forecasted remaining amount of power for a forecasted travel point of a host vehicle; a range calculation unit that calculates, as a reachable range, a predetermined range from a charging facility on the basis of a record of a remaining amount of power of the vehicle and a record of using the charging facility of the vehicle; and a presentation processing unit that presents a scheduled travel route selected on the basis of the reachable range.
