Electric power amount information output device and system
First Claim
1. An electric power amount information output device for outputting information indicating a remaining electric power amount of a battery provided as a drive power source to electrically drive a vehicle, the electric power amount information output device comprising:
- a departure point information acquisition section, which acquires departure point information indicating a point of departure of the vehicle;
a destination point information acquisition section, which acquires destination point information indicating a point of destination of the vehicle;
a remaining electric power amount information acquisition section, which acquires remaining electric power amount information indicating an amount of electric power remaining in the battery;
a required total electric power amount calculation section, which calculates a required total electric power amount based on the departure point information and the destination point information, the required total electric power amount indicating an amount of electric power required for the vehicle to travel from the departure point to the destination point;
an output section, which outputs information; and
a control section, which checks whether the remaining electric power amount indicated by the remaining electric power amount information at the departure point is less than the required total electric power amount, and drives the output section to output insufficiency information indicating that the remaining electric power amount of the battery is insufficient if the remaining electric power amount is less than the required total electric power amount.

Abstract
In an electric power amount information output device for a vehicle, a control section checks whether a remaining electric power amount of a battery of a motor-driven vehicle at a departure point is less than a total electric power amount required for the vehicle to travel to a destination point. The control section drives an output section to output insufficiency information indicating that the remaining electric power amount of the battery is insufficient, if the remaining electric power amount is less than the required total electric power amount.
