Another method produces an intermediate storage device (9) for the vehicle power supply device (1). The vehicle additionally has a vehicle battery (8), the intermediate storage device (9), and a converter (10) for supplying power to the electric motor (7). The intermediate storage device (9) is arranged between the vehicle battery (8) and the converter (10). The intermediate storage device (9) has an intermediate storage module (11) having an integrated discharge device (12), wherein the discharge device (12) converts the stored electric energy into heat energy upon discharging the intermediate storage device (9).
