Abstract: A method automatically determines a boundary of a partial area of a map, the partial area indicating the remaining range of a motor vehicle. The total area is divided into a matrix of rectangular area segments, with which a connected subset of the partial area is associated. Initially starting from a region of the total area not belonging to the partial area, a boundary area segment of the partial area is located and a first point describing the position of the boundary area segment is entered into a list of points, following which the process proceeds along the edge of the partial area and a point describing the position of the boundary area segment is entered into the list for each further boundary area segment located, until the boundary area segment corresponding to the first point is reached again. The boundary is determined from the list of points.

Abstract: A method determines a partial area of a map which is described by features, the partial area describing the remaining range of a motor vehicle. An energy-storage system supplies a drive system which acts on at least one wheel of the motor vehicle. The remaining range is determined as a function of energy stored in the energy-storage system using an algorithm which expands from a current position of the motor vehicle. The method uses divides the map into geometric, in particular rectangular, structures of equal size. Whenever, in the context of the expansion, a feature lying in a structure or corresponding to a structure is added, the structure is added to the partial area.

Abstract: Energy costs which are assigned to area segments are used when calculating the range and/or consumption for a vehicle.

Abstract: A method calculates a remaining range and/or consumption of a motor vehicle with an energy storage system for a drive which acts on at least one wheel of the motor vehicle. The remaining range and/or the consumption can be calculated in a first fashion by using a first algorithm and in a second fashion by using a second algorithm. The second fashion requires a higher degree of expenditure on calculation than the first fashion. Switching over between the first fashion and the second fashion occurs as a function of the energy stored in the energy storage system.

Abstract: A coupling part for electrical lines, where, in an injection-molded protective or plug body, in whose first end a cable is guided, a sealing element is contained which rests circumferentially tight against the cable. The sealing element is surrounded by a capsule part and is biased by the capsule part at least proportionately against the cable, wherein the capsule part is surrounded at least proportionately by the injection-molding protective or plug body.

Abstract: A socket housing comprises an inner part and an outer part, the inner part being formed to receive at least one electrically conductive contact element, and a wall of the outer part defining a cavity. Therein, the inner part and the outer part are arranged adjoining one another. An external diameter of the inner part is equal to or less than an internal diameter of the outer part. The socket housing is formed in one piece, the inner part and the outer part being connected via a crosspiece formed as a predetermined breaking point.
