  • Method for operating a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 11007877
    Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle, which is equipped with a plurality of wheels and with a plurality of electric machines. Each electric machine can be coupled to at least one wheel and be operated in a plurality of operating modes. The respective electric machines perform rotations in a first engine operating mode in a first direction of rotations. Electric energy is converted to mechanical energy. The at least one wheel is rotated in a forward direction, whereby the vehicle is driven with the at least one wheel. The respective electric machines perform rotations in a second generator operating mode in a second direction of rotations, which is opposite to the first direction of rotations, whereby electric energy is converted to mechanical energy.
