A method (100) of managing the supply of electrical energy in a vehicle (2) is disclosed. The vehicle (2) comprises an electric propulsion system (8), a rechargeable energy storage system (9) configured to provide electricity to the electric propulsion system (8) during operation of the vehicle (2), a number of electric components (5), and an electrical connector (11) for the connection to an external electric power source (30). The method (100) comprises the steps of charging (110) a first set (S1) of segments (9.1, 9.2) of the rechargeable energy storage system (9) using electricity from the external electric power source (30) and connecting (120) a second set (S2) of segments (9.3, 9.4) of the rechargeable energy storage system (9) to at least one electric component (5). The present disclosure further relates to a computer program, a computer-readable medium (200), a control arrangement (21), and a vehicle (2).
