A device for operating an active roll stabilization system of a vehicle is described, which active roll stabilization system has a roll stabilizer on at least one axle of the vehicle, which roll stabilizer is configured to adjust, by use of an electrically operated actuator, a degree of twist between lever arms of the roll stabilizer which act on different sides of the axle, in order to counteract a roll movement of the vehicle. The device is set up to determine which operating mode of a plurality of different operating modes of the roll stabilization system has been selected by a user of the vehicle. Further, the device is set up to operate the actuator as a generator, in order to recuperate electrical energy from a roll movement of the vehicle and/or from a roadway-induced movement of the vehicle, in a manner dependent on the selected operating mode.

A method for route planning includes a) making an initial energy forecast for a journey route to a route destination using an initial speed for at least one section of the journey route. The method may also include: b1) making a first energy forecast for the journey route using a first speed for the at least one section; b2) making a second energy forecast for the journey route using a second speed for the at least one section; b3) determining whether the journey route, based on the second energy forecast, includes n or n−1 charging stops; and b4) if the journey route includes n charging stops, determining the first speed as specified speed for the at least one section of the journey route, or if the journey route includes n−1 charging stops, repeating steps b2) and b3) with a third speed for the at least one section.
