Abstract

A method for controlling a recuperation power of a recuperation-capable drive of a motor vehicle includes first determining a future temperature-control effort that represents the energy required to cool or heat the motor vehicle, and then conducting to a temperature-control device a temperature-control proportion of a recuperation power that has been extracted from the kinetic energy of the motor vehicle. The temperature-control device uses the temperature-control proportion of the converted recuperation power to heat or cool a motor vehicle interior of the motor vehicle. The magnitude of the temperature-control proportion is controlled based on the future temperature-control effort. An increasing temperature-control proportion is conducted to the temperature-control device in response to an increasing temperature-control effort.
