Abstract

When an energy store of a vehicle is charged via a charging device, a voltage (U) which is made available by the charging device, at a terminal of the vehicle, is measured. A charging current (I) which is made available by the charging device and which charges the energy store is regulated as a function of this voltage (U) in order to limit the power loss during charging.
