Patent ID: 8024081

Claim:
A method for controlling a hybrid vehicle drive having an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, which comprises the steps of: providing a multiplicity of control parameter sets with different set point charge states for a high performance battery of the electric motor; assigning a respective operating mode of a vehicle to the multiplicity of control parameter sets; defining a current operating mode of the vehicle from a current operating parameter of the vehicle or a current driving situation of the vehicle; defining a multiplicity of possible set point charge states on a basis of the current operating mode of the vehicle; prioritizing one of the set point charge states in accordance with a predefined prioritization scheme resulting in a prioritized set point charge state; and using a respective control parameter set of the control parameter sets, corresponding to the current operating mode of the vehicle and to the prioritized set point charge state, to control a charge mode of the high performance battery of the electric motor with the prioritized set point charge state.
