A method for operating at least one electric machine that is designed to drive a vehicle, in which a value is determined for at least one operating parameter of the vehicle, wherein a change is predicted for the torque of the at least one electric machine at a target time point from the value of the at least one operating parameter, wherein a current for a magnetization of the at least one electric machine prior to the target time point is set at a value, wherein the value of the current for the magnetization at the target time point is changed and adapted.
