Abstract: A method is for controlling an electric drive which is configured to generate a torque on a wheel of an axle of a vehicle. The method includes: receiving a deceleration request signal; analyzing and classifying the deceleration request signal in order to form a classified deceleration request signal; determining a gradient threshold of a torque gradient of the electric drive on the basis of the classified deceleration request signal; and actuating the electric drive using a drive actuation signal in order to generate a negative torque on the wheel of the vehicle axle on the basis of the determined gradient threshold. A control unit for carrying out the method is for a vehicle. A vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle, includes a control unit for carrying out the method.

Abstract: Method for an electrically drivable vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle, with an energy storage device and an electric drive capable of regenerative braking, wherein the energy storage device can be charged during regenerative braking and the energy storage device can be charged at a vehicle-external charging station, the method including the steps: determining a state of charge, wherein the state of charge includes information about whether the energy storage device is being charged by the vehicle-external charging station; detecting, depending on the state of charge, vehicle information concerning the vehicle, in particular the utility vehicle, and position information concerning the position of the vehicle, in particular the utility vehicle; transmitting the vehicle information and the position information to an external server; and receiving a target state of charge from the vehicle-external server.

Abstract: A method determines a defect state of a drive train of a vehicle having a drive axle with a drive wheel and a reference axle with a reference wheel. A drive torque generated by a drive is transferrable to an underlying surface by the drive train via the drive wheel and cannot be transferred to the underlying surface via the reference wheel of the reference axle. The method includes: reading-in a drive variable which is dependent on a motor revolution rate of the drive; reading-in a reference variable which is dependent on a reference wheel revolution rate of the reference wheel; determining whether there is a deviation between the read-in drive and the read-in reference variables to determine whether the reference wheel revolution rate is related to the motor revolution rate of the drive. If there is a deviation, a defect state of the drive train is concluded.
