Abstract: At least one electric motor is employed for propelling an electric or hybrid vehicle with a shiftable transmission. Upon reaching a shift threshold, a shift operation is performed in the transmission of the vehicle, wherein a value specifying the shift threshold is varied depending on at least one parameter. As the at least one parameter, a speed is used, at which a power provided by the at least one electric motor for propelling the vehicle has a maximum.
