Abstract

A method for route planning includes a) making an initial energy forecast for a journey route to a route destination using an initial speed for at least one section of the journey route. The method may also include: b1) making a first energy forecast for the journey route using a first speed for the at least one section; b2) making a second energy forecast for the journey route using a second speed for the at least one section; b3) determining whether the journey route, based on the second energy forecast, includes n or n−1 charging stops; and b4) if the journey route includes n charging stops, determining the first speed as specified speed for the at least one section of the journey route, or if the journey route includes n−1 charging stops, repeating steps b2) and b3) with a third speed for the at least one section.
