The City of Huntsville, Alabama, has operated seven electric vehicles since late 1982 and is participating in a test and evaluation program. Vehicle activity from March 1983 to May 1984 is summarized, including daily travel, energy use, monthly vehicle utilization, and battery life. Data from the Huntsville fleet are compared with comparable information from three other electric vehicle fleets participating in the DOE program. A subcontract with the University of Alabama at Huntsville provided technical assistance and personnel training during the initial operating period. This report covers the first year of operation after the break-in period. In general, the Huntsville fleet has provided an excellent test of real-world electric vehicle operation and has yielded a number of design improvements as well. Many changes have been implemented in the vehicles and in specific components, such as controllers. (ERA citation 10:021012)
