METHOD FOR DISPLAYING THE CHARGING STATE OF AN ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE OF A VEHICLE, AND A VEHICLE

The charging state of an energy storage device of a vehicle is displayed by a lighting device of the vehicle. The lighting device projects a charging state in the form of a graphic onto a surface in the surrounding area of the vehicle. The lighting device starts the projection of the charging state into the surrounding area when the vehicle detects, by an environment sensor system, an approach of a vehicle, a person, or an identification feature that is below a defined distance from the vehicle.
