Claim Text:
1. A method for controlling the temperature of a vehicle with at least a partially electric drive while the vehicle is connected to a charging station, comprising: setting up a data link configured for bidirectional communication between the vehicle and the charging station; acquiring vehicle-side data with a vehicle-side device configured to acquire data and acquiring charging-station-side data with a charging-station-side device configured to acquire data; predicting a usage of a temperature control device of the vehicle during a next trip of the vehicle based on the acquired vehicle-side data and the acquired charging-side data; determining optimum temperatures for a battery of the vehicle and for a passenger compartment of the vehicle with a logic device based on the predicted usage of the temperature control device, the optimum temperatures being such that an energy usage of the temperature control device during the next trip is minimized; and operating the temperature control device to pre-set temperatures of the battery and of the passenger compartment to the optimum temperatures for the battery and for the passenger compartment before the next trip.
