A reservation assistant unit that is related to the electric vehicle computes an estimated travelling distance from a current location corresponding to the electric vehicle to a destination, and computes a remaining distance based on residual electric energy of a rechargeable battery currently used by the electric vehicle. When the estimated travelling distance is greater than the remaining distance, the reservation assistant unit provides charging station information that indicates the closest charging station that has a rechargeable battery available.
