Method and apparatus for operating a hybrid vehicle with electric drive

The invention relates to a method for operating a hybrid drive system for a hybrid vehicle, the hybrid drive system includes a powered by an electrical energy storage electric motor and an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of: - performing a first optimization depending on a course of required driving power via a provided lying ahead travel route according to to obtain a first target energy demand profile over the lying ahead travel route a first computing grid, - performing a second optimizing a lying ahead distance which is equal to or shorter than the lying ahead travel route according to a second shorter computing grid, wherein, depending on the second optimization of a power allocation for the lying ahead distance (W) which results from the first target power demand curve is performed to a second target power demand curve over the lying ahead Wegstre blocks to obtain, - operating the hybrid power system based on a load distribution which results depending on the second target energy demand profile over the lying ahead distance.
