Abstract
A travel support device includes a mode planner that plans a travel mode that is to be one of an EV mode and an HV mode that uses at least an internal combustion engine as a drive source, for each of a plurality of sections, and an execution determiner that determines to execute a travel mode planning with the mode planner on condition that the total amount of consumption energy required for traveling the travel route is larger than an energy equivalent value that is obtained by adding a first allowance value to a remaining charge of the battery. In executing a planning based on the determination by the execution determiner, the mode planner executes the travel mode planning while assuming that energy from which energy corresponding to a second allowance value, which is smaller than the first allowance value is excluded is energy required for travelling the travel route.
