1. A power management method for a hybrid vehicle selectively driven by an electric motor and by a heat engine, the electric motor being supplied with power by a unit for storing electrical power able to be recharged by the heat engine,wherein a charge level of the power storage unit is monitored in order to select a heat engine or electric motor drive mode,the power management method comprising: inputting a route profile into a central ECU;evaluating a route profile for the hybrid vehicle associated with a trip of the hybrid vehicle, wherein evaluating the rout profile comprises: evaluating a trip distance, a trip time, and a nature of the trip, between a specified point and a specified endpoint; andsetting, depending on the route profile, a threshold charge level, called an authorized threshold, below which a heat engine drive mode is activated,wherein the nature of the trip is evaluated from an average speed of the trip, the average speed being obtained from the trip distance and the trip time,wherein the nature of the trip is chosen from at least one trip comprising an extra urban portion and one trip not comprising an extra urban portion,wherein if the average speed of the trip is higher than an average speed threshold, the trip comprises an extra urban portion, andwherein if the average speed is lower than the average speed threshold, the trip does not comprise an extra urban portion. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: requesting the recharge of the storage unit if the charge level drops below the authorized threshold, the recharge request comprising a request that the heat engine turn on. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the nature of the trip is evaluated from a speed profile of the trip. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the starting point or the endpoint are defined by their geographical coordinates. 5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the endpoint is input by a user. 6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the route profile is input into the central ECU via a human-machine interface. 7. A power management method for a hybrid vehicle selectively driven by an electric motor and by a heat engine, the electric motor being supplied with power by a unit for storing electrical power able to be recharged by the heat engine,wherein a charge level of the power storage unit is monitored in order to select a heat engine or electric motor drive mode,the power management method comprising: inputting a route profile into a central ECU;evaluating a route profile for the hybrid vehicle associated with a trip of the hybrid vehicle; andevaluating, depending on the route profile, a threshold charge level, called an authorized threshold, below which a heat engine drive mode is activated,wherein evaluating the route profile comprises evaluating a trip, distance, a trip time, and a nature of the trip, between a specified starting point and a specified endpoint,wherein the nature of the trip comprises an extra urban portion,wherein evaluating the route profile comprising evaluating the trip time between the starting point and the start of the extra urban portion,wherein evaluating the authorized threshold comprises setting the authorized threshold to a first threshold for the trip time and setting the authorized threshold to a second threshold higher than the first threshold after the trip time. 8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first threshold is between 20% and 30% of a maximum charge level. 9. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the second threshold is between 60% and 80% of a maximum charge level. 10. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the authorized threshold is equal to a third threshold higher than or equal to the first threshold and lower than the second threshold, when the trip does not comprise an extra urban portion. 11. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the third threshold is between 40% and 50% of a maximum charge level. 12. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein evaluating the authorized threshold comprises setting the authorized threshold to a first threshold for the trip time between the starting point and the start of the extra urban portion. 13. A power management system for a hybrid vehicle selectively driven by an electric motor and by a heat engine, the electric motor being supplied with power by a unit for storing electrical power able to be recharged by the heat engine,the power management system comprising: a central ECU configured to monitor a charge level of the power storage unit in order to select a heat engine drive mode or an electric motor drive mode;a unit for evaluating a route profile for the hybrid vehicle associated with a trip of the hybrid vehicle; anda unit for setting a threshold charge level, called an authorized threshold, below which the heat engine drive mode is activated, depending on the route profile,wherein the unit for evaluating the authorized threshold is configured to evaluate a trip distance, a trip time, and a nature of the trip, between a specified starting point and a specified endpoint,wherein the nature of the trip is chosen from at least one trip comprising an extra urban portion and one trip not comprising an extra urban portion,wherein the nature of the trip is evaluated from an average speed of the trip, the average speed being obtained from the trip distance and the trip time,wherein if the average speed of the trip is higher than an average speed threshold, the trip comprises an extra urban portion, andwherein if the average speed of the trip is lower than the average speed threshold, the trip does not comprise an extra urban portion. 14. The system as claimed in claim 13, in which the unit for evaluating the route profile comprises a tracking device. 15. The system as claimed in claim 14, wherein the tracking device is one selected from a group consisting of a GPS and a map. 16. The system as claimed in claim 13, further comprising a human-machine interface for communicating with a user of the hybrid vehicle. 17. The system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the route profile is input into the central ECU. 18. The system as claimed in claim 17, wherein the route profile is input into the central ECU via a human-machine interface.
