An exhaust gas turbocharger system (1) has a first and second exhaust gas turbochargers (2, 3) arranged in parallel. Each exhaust gas turbocharger (2, 3) has an exhaust gas turbine (20, 30) and a compressor (21, 31). Fresh air compressed by the compressor (21) of the first exhaust gas turbocharger (2) can flow into a first pressure line (15), and fresh air compressed by the compressor (31) of the second exhaust gas turbocharger (3) can flow into a second pressure line (16). The two pressure lines (15, 16) are connected to each other in terms of flow. An electric drive device (10) is connected to the first exhaust gas turbocharger (2) and can be turned on for providing additional torque for driving the exhaust gas turbine (20) and the compressor (21) of the first exhaust gas turbocharger (2).
