Abstract: A method for the exchange of electrical energy between at least two moving, electrically powered vehicles, comprising the steps: providing a first and a second electrically powered vehicle, having a respective electrical energy store, the energy store of the first and the second vehicle can emit or receive electrical energy, and the first and second vehicles move or are to be moved along a first or second route; changing the first and second routes in such a way that both changed routes coincide along a route section; steering the first and second vehicle along the changed first and second route in such a way that both the vehicles move along the coinciding route section at a distance to one another that is smaller than a predefined maximum distance; and transferring electrical energy from the energy store of the first vehicle to the energy store of the second vehicle.
