Claim Text:
1. A method for operating a vehicle, in which energy is recovered and stored in an energy store within the vehicle, the method comprising: detecting the environment of the vehicle using a detector; depending on detection of an object in the vehicle environment, evaluating at least one object characteristic; and depending on the evaluation of the object characteristic, automatically performing at least one selected from the group consisting of an overrun phase, a braking phase, and combinations thereof, in a manner adapted to at least one parameter characterizing the energy store, wherein the energy is recovered at a first rate during the overrun phase and at a second rate during the braking phase, and wherein the energy store comprises at least two different energy storage types each of the at least two different energy storage types having a different charging characteristic, and the at least one selected from the group consisting of the overrun phase, the braking phase, and combinations thereof, is performed such that the energy to be recovered is dynamically fed into one of the at least two energy storage types, whose charging characteristic matches the first and second rate of the energy to be recovered most closely.
