1. A method for displaying a warning message to warn of insufficient available drive power for use in an electric vehicle, the method comprising:
detecting at least one measurement value to determine a latest output of an energy storage device of the electric vehicle via a detection unit;
determining a latest peak output and/or continuous output of the energy storage device based on the detected at least one measurement value via a processing unit;
comparing the latest peak output and/or continuous output with a threshold value of the peak output and/or continuous output via the processing unit; and
displaying a warning message by a display when the peak output and/or continuous output falls below the threshold value,
wherein the method is not initiated until an attempt is made to establish driving readiness,
wherein a suggested solution is generated during or after a display of a warning message, and
wherein the suggested solution is a suggestion for generating higher drive power.
