1. A method for jump-starting a first electric vehicle by a second electric vehicle providing the jump-start, when no power supply system is available to start the first electric vehicle, wherein each of the first and second electric vehicles is provided with a step-up/step-down converter as a charging device, the method comprising:
- temporarily interconnecting electrical systems of the first electric vehicle receiving the jump-start and the second electric vehicle providing the jump-start during a time of the jump-start, wherein a d.c. link busbar of the second electric vehicle providing the jump-start is connected to a d.c. link busbar of the first electric vehicle receiving the jump-start.
