Claim 3:
4. An information processing system comprising:
an electric vehicle;
an information processing terminal; and
an information processing apparatus comprising:
a map information storage configured to store map information including a location of a charging station to charge a battery of the electric vehicle;
a charging record information storage configured to store charging record information of said electric vehicle indicating whether or not it has been possible to charge the battery of said electric vehicle, the charging record information including a registered location of said electric vehicle where it has been possible to charge the battery for said electric vehicle at a charging station, and a registered date and time when it has been possible to charge the battery for said electric vehicle at said charging station;
a processor;
a receiver configured to receive a search request from the information processing terminal, the search request including a search condition of searching for the charging station,
wherein
the processor is programed to:
search for the charging station from the map information storage meeting the search condition based on the map information to obtain candidate charging stations to be evaluated,
acquire a first charging record information from the charging record information storage for the candidate charging stations searched from the map information storage corresponding to a predetermined evaluation period, the predetermine evaluation period being a predetermined period ranging from a date and time searched by the processor to a past, wherein in the first charging record information, the registered date and time for each candidate charging station is within the predetermined evaluation period,
acquire a second charging record information corresponding to a predetermined evaluation point for each candidate charging station from the acquired first charging record information, the predetermined evaluation point being a predetermined range from the location of each candidate charging station stored in the map information storage, wherein in the second charging record information, the registered location of said electric vehicle for each candidate charging station is within the predetermined evaluation point,
calculate an evaluation value for each station based on the acquired second charging record information corresponding to the evaluation period and the evaluation point, and
output a charging station search result including the charging station searched by the processor and the evaluation value calculated by the processor to the information processing terminal,
wherein the evaluation value is an index indicating possibility of charging at the charging station without experiencing a failure of the charging station,

wherein the information processing apparatus is configured to control the electric vehicle through the information processing terminal by providing route guidance from a current location to a selected charging station within the charging station search result selected based on the evaluation value displayed in the charging station search result corresponding to the selected charging station, and
wherein the electric vehicle includes a navigation device configured to guide a route from the current location with the selected charging station as a destination.
