CHARGING MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, NAVIGATION SYSTEM, AND NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM

A charging management apparatus is configured to manage charging of a battery of an electric vehicle serving as a vehicle. The charging management apparatus includes one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more memories are communicably coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to: acquire data on a current location and a destination of the vehicle; set charging facilities of the battery to stop during a travel from the current location to the destination, based on a predetermined criterion; and calculate a necessary charging time necessary at a first charging facility of the charging facilities to cause an expected remaining capacity of the battery upon a scheduled arrival at a second charging facility of the charging facilities after the first charging facility to be equal to or greater than a predetermined reference charging capacity.
