1. A method for controlling or regulating a charge state of an electrical energy accumulator of a hybrid vehicle, the method comprising the acts of:
- selecting a higher charge state level to which the electrical energy accumulator is to be charged as a function of, or correlating thereto, an operating state of the hybrid vehicle and a parameter representing a load of an electrical system of the hybrid vehicle; and
charging the electrical energy accumulator from a low charge state level to the selected higher charge state level via an electric machine operating as a generator and driven by an internal-combustion engine of the hybrid vehicle.

Abstract
A method controls or regulates the charge state of an electrical energy accumulator of a hybrid vehicle, where, in some operating states, the energy accumulator is charged from a low to a higher charge state level by way of an electric machine driven by an internal-combustion engine of the hybrid vehicle and operating as a generator. The level of the charge state to which the energy accumulator is charged by the internal-combustion engine is selected as a function of a parameter representing the load of the electrical system or correlating thereto.
