Abstract
A vehicular navigation apparatus includes a control unit that sets a reachable area that is reachable by a vehicle, such that a remaining charge amount of a battery of the vehicle has a remaining charge amount above a quick charge threshold at the reachable area. The quick charge threshold is provided as a charge level of the battery that is required for a quick charge operation of the battery. The control unit further searches for a battery charge spot in the reachable area, and provides guidance to the battery charge spot. The control unit may further redefine the reachable area where a charge operation is scheduled, based on preferences provided by a user.
