Abstract
A method is provided for starting an internal combustion engine of a vehicle having a hybrid drive which includes at least one electric drive to which a high-voltage battery is assigned. If the high-voltage battery is discharged, an on-board electrical system battery of the vehicle is connected to a pulse-controlled inverter which activates the at least one electric drive; the at least one electric drive is accelerated load-free to a maximum rotational speed achievable at the applied voltage; the pulse-controlled inverter is disconnected from the on-board electrical system battery; and a clutch is engaged between the at least one electric drive and the internal combustion engine.
