Abstract
A running mode proposal device for proposing a running mode up to a destination of a vehicle is configured to: select a first running route by a predetermined algorithm unrelated to noncontact power supply; project, when assuming the vehicle runs on a predetermined running route, a value of a parameter relating to an electric energy projected as being supplied at a power supply section on the running route to the vehicle; select a second running route by which a projected supplied electric energy will be greater than a predetermined standard electric energy if the projected value of the parameter when assuming the vehicle runs on the first running route is a value indicating the projected supplied electric energy is less than the standard electric energy; and propose, as the running route, the first running route, and, when the second running route is selected, further proposing a second running route.
