Abstract: An energy consumption predicting apparatus stores reference energy defined by an amount of energy required by a vehicle to move on a selected route and provides actual energy defined by an amount of energy actually used by a target vehicle. The apparatus includes a correcting unit which calculates a deviation of the actual energy from the reference energy and derives a correlation between amounts of energy actually consumed by a vehicle to move from a reference location to a first location and from the reference location to a second location.
