Abstract:
1. An energy consumption calculation device, comprising: an energy consumption estimation unit configured to estimate an energy consumption in a predetermined section of a road; an actual energy consumption identification unit configured to identify an actual energy consumption that is actually supplied in the predetermined section of the road by an energy supply unit adapted to supply energy; an energy consumption correction unit configured to correct the energy consumption in the predetermined section of the road estimated by the energy consumption estimation unit in accordance with a difference between the energy consumption in the predetermined section of the road estimated by the energy consumption estimation unit and the actual energy consumption in the predetermined section of the road identified by the actual energy consumption identification unit; and a display unit configured to identify and display, by using the energy consumption in the predetermined section of the road corrected by the energy consumption correction unit, a possible travel range of a vehicle by which travel is possible with a suppliable energy amount of the energy supply unit.
