Method for operating a motor vehicle and motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for operating a motor vehicle, which is driven only by an electric motor, wherein the motor vehicle has a high-voltage power system, to which the electric motor is connected, with a high-voltage battery that is to be operated in an operating temperature range, for which purpose, a temperature control means utilizing a circulating coolant and having a heating means for the coolant and a cooling means for the coolant is assigned to the high-voltage battery, comprising:
- determining, by an electronic control unit, an on-demand power in the high-voltage power system;
examining, by the electronic control unit, a deficiency criterion for a power requirement based on a difference between the on-demand power and a braking power which is to be generated by recuperation of the electric motor;
satisfying the deficiency criterion for the power requirement,wherein the deficiency criterion is satisfied by activating the heating means and the cooling means of the temperature control means for the high-voltage battery so that the temperature of the high-voltage battery remains within the operating temperature range.

Abstract
A method for operating a motor vehicle, which is driven by an electric motor. The motor vehicle has a high-voltage power system, to which the electric motor is connected, with a high-voltage battery that is operated in an operating temperature range, for which purpose, a temperature control mechanism utilizing a circulating coolant, and having a heating mechanism for the coolant and a cooling mechanism for the coolant is assigned to the high-voltage battery, to satisfy a power deficiency which indicates that a braking power required by recuperation of the electric motor exceeds the on-demand power currently in the high-voltage power system that can be demanded for charging the high-voltage battery.
