In a method for operating a vehicle (1) which can be driven with an electric motor (2) and in which the electric motor (2) is supplied with electric current from an energy accumulator (3), a state of charge of the energy accumulator (3) and/or a residual distance which can be covered with the energy stored in the energy accumulator (3) are/is stored in a storage device (4). After the shutting down of the electric motor (2), the state of charge of the energy accumulator (3) and/or the residual distance which can be covered by the vehicle with the energy stored in the energy accumulator (3) are/is transmitted to a mobile terminal (6).
