A non-railbound vehicle with an electric motor in which the maximum output of the internal combustion engine will be available in its entirety for driving the vehicle without prejudice to convenience with respect to electrical actuation of accessory functions. The vehicle includes a drive control that provides a portion of the output generated by a generator for supplying power to the low-voltage vehicle power supply. The electronic drive control is programmed to provide a temporary interruption of the current supplied by the generator to the low-voltage vehicle power supply during operating phases in which the full output of the internal combustion engine is required for driving the vehicle. During these phases current is supplied to accessory electrical consumers via the vehicle battery.
