Abstract
A method for controlling a state of charge of an energy storage device of a motor vehicle. A control device receives a first operator control signal and, only if the first operator control signal is received by a first operator control element of an operator control device and describes a user request to change a state of charge, a first operating mode of the control device is activated, whereby the control device is coupled to a power control device. A second operating mode of the control device, in which the control device is coupled to a monetarization device, is activated only if the first operator control signal is received by a second operator control element of the operator control device, the signal describing a user request to transmit a monetary value to a data server device external to the motor vehicle.
