To provide a user with electric charging facilities complying with user's features.SOLUTION: A server 200 is an information processing apparatus for proposing first electric charging facilities or second electric charting facilities to a user of a vehicle mounted with an electric power storage device. The first electric charging facilities are configured to charge an electric power storage device by a contact electric charging system using an electric charging cable. The second electric charging facilities are configured to charge the electric power storage device by a non-contact electric charging system. The server 200 comprises a determination part 710 and a setting part 725. The determination part 710 determines a non-contact electric charging recommendation level X representing how much the non-contact electric charging system is recommended to a user based upon features of the user. The setting part 725 sets proposed facilities which are electric charging facilities proposed to the user among the first electric charging facilities and second electric charging facilities. The setting part 725 sets the second electric charging facilities as the proposed facilities when the non-contact electric charging recommendation level X is high compared with when the non-contact electric charging recommendation level X is low.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】ユーザの特徴に応じた適切な充電設備をユーザに提案する。【解決手段】サーバ２００は、蓄電装置が搭載された車両のユーザに第１充電設備または第２充電設備を提案するための情報処理装置である。第１充電設備は、充電ケーブルを用いた接触充電方式により蓄電装置を充電するように構成される。第２充電設備は、非接触充電方式により蓄電装置を充電するように構成される。サーバ２００は、決定部７１０と、設定部７２５とを備える。決定部７１０は、非接触充電方式をユーザに推奨する程度を表す非接触充電推奨度Ｘをユーザの特徴に基づいて決定する。設定部７２５は、第１充電設備および第２充電設備のうちユーザに提案される充電設備である提案設備を設定する。設定部７２５は、非接触充電推奨度Ｘが高い場合に、非接触充電推奨度Ｘが低い場合よりも提案設備に第２充電設備を設定する。【選択図】図６
