Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An energy-consumption calculation device includes an energy-consumption estimation unit to estimate energy consumption in a predetermined section; an actual energy consumption identification unit to identify an actual energy consumption supplied in the predetermined section by an energy-supply unit; an energy-consumption correction unit to correct the energy consumption in the predetermined section estimated by the energy consumption estimation unit in accordance with a difference between the energy consumption in the predetermined section estimated by the energy consumption estimation unit and the actual energy consumption in the predetermined section identified by the actual energy consumption identification means; and display unit adapted to identify and display, by using the energy consumption in the predetermined section corrected by the energy consumption correction means, a possible travel range by which travel is possible with a suppliable energy amount of the energy supply unit.
