Abstract
A battery exchange guiding method includes: searching for a battery station that an electrically powered vehicle is able to reach (first searching); and searching for the battery station in which a battery with a larger SOC than a predetermined value (an SOC required to reach a destination from the battery station+a user's desired value in regard to a remaining amount of the SOC at a timing of arrival at the destination) is stored (second searching). The guiding method includes notifying the user of the electrically powered vehicle of information on the battery station extracted through the above two searches.
