A method for planning a travel route for a vehicle including an energy storage unit includes a) transmitting a destination sequence to an arithmetic logic unit coupled to a data memory storing data concerning a road network, b) calculating a route sequence for the destination sequence, c) calculating a projected amount of energy remaining in the energy storage unit for the route sequence, d) ascertaining, at least for one destination in the destination sequence, based on the projected amount of energy remaining, the road network and a projected energy consumption, points in the road network still reachable from this destination with the projected amount of energy remaining, and e) generating, for at least the one destination, a graphic map depiction in which this destination and the points in the road network still reachable from this destination are visually represented. A corresponding device for carrying out the method is also described.
