1. A method for using a processor unit of an autonomously movable vehicle, the method comprising:
providing a computing power of the processor unit to at least one off-board processing network and/or to a cluster of off-board computing units during a process of charging an electrical energy storage unit of the vehicle,
wherein the computing power of the processor unit is made available to the processing network and/or to the cluster based on a charge status of the electrical energy storage unit of the vehicle, and
wherein the computing power of the processor unit of the vehicle made available to the processing network and/or to the cluster is increased in proportion to an increasing volume of electrical energy stored in the energy storage unit of the vehicle.
