Evaluation of Electric Vehicle Battery Systems Through In-Vehicle Testing

摘要

This fourth annual summary report documents the tests performed from October 1987 through September 1988 in EPRI's ongoing project to evaluate and compare the performance of near-term electric vehicle traction battery packs in a real-world operating environment. Detailed test procedures and test data are available from EPRI in an informal data report.nTesting includes initial acceptance testing of battery components and systems, daily in-vehicle operation of the batteries, monthly in-vehicle driving range tests, and periodic static (constant current) discharge tests under computer control.
