1. A method for controlling a vehicle having a regenerative braking unit, the method comprising:

  • detecting a starting time of a fuel cell stack associated with a vehicle;

    generating electrical energy during braking or deceleration of the vehicle via an electric drive motor mechanically coupled to at least one wheel of the vehicle;

    determining a time window following the starting time;

    routing the electrical energy to a resistive load associated with a heat exchanger thermally coupled to a fuel cell stack of the vehicle if the electrical energy is generated during the time window.
