Method for assisting a person with planning a journey in an electric vehicle, comprising the steps of: - detecting a current location at which the electric vehicle is located; - detecting a current state of charge of an energy storage device of the electric vehicle, which device stores energy for a drive motor of the electric vehicle; - determining a starting region, the boundary of which can be reached by the electric vehicle from the current location and based on the current state of charge without recharging energy; - determining locations of charging stations (L1, L2) for the electric vehicle in the starting region; - for each of the charging stations (L1, L2), determining an indirectly reachable region, the boundary of which can be reached from the respective charging station (L1, L2) and based on a state of charge that was changed at the respective charging station in a predetermined manner, without additional recharging; - determining, in a recursive manner, also for a charging station (L1') in an indirectly reachable region, an additional indirectly reachable region, the boundary of which can be reached from said charging station and based on a state of charge that was changed at said charging station in a predetermined manner, without additional recharging; - outputting information for an overall region which is formed by the starting region and the indirectly reachable regions, for outputting the information, a road map being displayed, on which the overall region is indicated; characterised in that, in the overall region which is indicated on the road map, zones (A0, A1, A2, A1') are marked, the marking of the zones (A0, A1, A2, A1') indicating: a) a minimum number of charging stations, at which energy must be recharged in order to reach the respective zone, or b) a charging station (L1, L2, L1') via which the respective zone (A1, A2, A1') can be reached, and, if the zone (A1') can be reached via a plurality of charging stations (L1, L1'), taking as a basis the last charging station (L1') at which energy must be recharged in order to reach the zone (A1, A2, A1'), or - via which the shortest path leads from the current location to the zone, or - via which the zone can be reached in the shortest amount of time, or - via which the zone can be reached with the lowest energy consumption. - detecting a current location at which the electric vehicle is located; - detecting a current state of charge of an energy storage device of the electric vehicle, which device stores energy for a drive motor of the electric vehicle; - determining a starting region, the boundary of which can be reached by the electric vehicle from the current location and based on the current state of charge without recharging energy; - determining locations of charging stations (L1, L2) for the electric vehicle in the starting region; - for each of the charging stations (L1, L2), determining an indirectly reachable region, the boundary of which can be reached from the respective charging station (L1, L2) and based on a state of charge that was changed at the respective charging station in a predetermined manner, without additional recharging; - determining, in a recursive manner, also for a charging station (L1') in an indirectly reachable region, an additional indirectly reachable region, the boundary of which can be reached from said charging station and based on a state of charge that was changed at said charging station in a predetermined manner, without additional recharging; - outputting information for an overall region which is formed by the starting region and the indirectly reachable regions, for outputting the information, a road map being displayed, on which the overall region is indicated; a) a minimum number of charging stations, at which energy must be recharged in order to reach the respective zone, or b) a charging station (L1, L2, L1') via which the respective zone (A1, A2, A1') can be reached, and, if the zone (A1') can be reached via a plurality of charging stations (L1, L1'), taking as a basis the last charging station (L1') at which energy must be recharged in order to reach the zone (A1, A2, A1'), or - via which the shortest path leads from the current location to the zone, or - via which the zone can be reached in the shortest amount of time, or - via which the zone can be reached with the lowest energy consumption. - via which the shortest path leads from the current location to the zone, or - via which the zone can be reached in the shortest amount of time, or - via which the zone can be reached with the lowest energy consumption.
