Abstract
A control unit for a vehicle includes an electric energy store for storing electric energy for an electric drive machine. The control unit is designed to determine that the vehicle is driving to a charging station in order to charge the energy store. In response to the determination, the control unit is additionally designed to initiate one or more usage-neutral or usage-reducing measures while the vehicle is traveling in order to reduce the temperature of the energy store in preparation for the charging process of the energy store.
