Original Abstract Submitted
A method is disclosed for ascertaining a departure time specification, which indicates the most probable departure time specification of an electric vehicle from a building, in order to determine a charging strategy for an electric energy storage device of the electric vehicle. The method includes providing a data-based departure time model which is trained to provide a departure time specification on the basis of a calendrical time specification and on the basis of one or more temporal load variable curves of vehicle-external load variables within a specified period of time. The one or more variable curves characterizes the usage of one or more energy loads, in particular a domestic appliance and/or a heating and hot water system, of the building. The method further includes analyzing the data-based departure time model by specifying the calendrical time specification and the one or more load variable curves within the specified period of time in order to determine the departure time specification.
