Abstract
A method for operating a hybrid vehicle and a hybrid vehicle are disclosed. The hybrid vehicle includes a supercharged internal combustion engine having an overboost function and at least one electric drive. An overboost phase of the supercharger of the internal combustion engine is followed by a regeneration phase of the supercharger and a corresponding drop in torque, wherein the at least one electric drive is used to at least partially compensate for the drop in torque of the internal combustion engine during the overboost regeneration phase of the supercharger. Thus, an improved driving behavior with an extended overboost phase can be achieved.
